[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS has nothing to do with housing. You don't like the huge FARMS rates at certain schools? Go advocate to the County Board that you want to see affordable housing around Jamestown and Tuckahoe.

Alternatively, go advocate in front of APS that you want forced busing to equalize FARMS rates across schools.

People love to complain about this issue, but they're unwilling to actually do anything about it.

Yup, and then try to convince the brown FARMS families at Randolph that they will be better off bused to Jamestown. They don't want to leave their neighborhood either.

The people who complain about high FARMS rates are the white UMC families in those schools in SA. They moved to those zip codes to get a bigger house for less $, but then once there they do not want their white UMC kids in a school with lots of brown kids and high FARMS. You don't usually hear the FARMS families complaining. [/quote]. Oh come on, Barrett and Ashlawn are next to each other. Have Ashlawn pick up some of Barrett's planning units and Barrett pick up some of Ashlawn's planning units.  There's no reason for one school to be at &gt;70% FARMs and the other to be at 17%.  That's ridiculous.  No busing across town required.[/quote]
