[quote=Anonymous][quote]Shepherd is 94% non-white and Deal is 59% non-white. Removing any feeder school that is more diverse than Deal makes Deal less diverse. This is the fundamental, unsolvable problem with redistricting Deal: the schools that are further away are more diverse.[/quote] While I agree with your point, generally, I quibble with your wording and I think it's important to correct. "Diverse" isn't synonymous with "not white." There has to be an array or a variety. But, alas, the schools that are "further away" aren't more 'diverse' than the schools closer in. They're just as lopsided -- but not with white kids. Sheperd is not more "diverse" than Murch or Eaton or even Hearst -- Sheperd is [i]more lopsided toward just one race [/i]actually than either Murch OR Eaton is. Sheperd is on par with Lafayette with its over-representation of one race vs. any other races. [/quote]
