[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would be the rationale behind SA families getting first dibs on choice schools? Either high farms rates are a problem or they aren’t. If they are then taking steps to increase the flight of engaged MC/UMC from high farms schools is counterproductive. If they aren’t, then why should SA be given first choice?[/quote]

This isn't a fixable problem. The farms rate in south Arlington, including option school students, is 50 percent and rising. There is nothing the school board can do with regard to option schools and boundaries - either in a technical or political sense - to produce equitable, equally performing schools and opportunity of the kind that exists between NA schools, which are interchangeable ina way that Henry and say, carlin, or Randolph and Oakridge definitely are not. This is the truth; if you want a school that offers challenge and opportunity for UMC kids you need to leave SA. I live in Nauck and understand this o be true. The question if the school board can fix it, it's what you are willing to settle for.
