[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bridged the Yorktown island and gave Yorktown a few additional units along the west county border but stopped at Route 50. I gave Wakefield Ft Myer and some units around the east end of Columbia Pike.

I moved 1302, 1303, 1304, 2312, 2313, 2314, and 2401 to Yorktown.

And I moved 3706, 4611, 4612, 4614, 4691, 4815, 4816, 4818, 4828, 4829, and 4899 to Wakefield.

I ended up with most year capacities under or close to 102 with only a couple years at 104 but that was my highest in any school. My goal was to end up with sustainable numbers and with my boundaries they all looked pretty good (104 or less) four years out.

I know you got the capacities close to 102 but isn't it farther for the planning units you selected to get to Wakefield?    Or were you looking at other criteria as well and not just the capacity issue?[/quote]

Maybe, just maybe the PP had the thought not to send the 386 economically disadvantaged students in planning units 3506, 3507, 3508, 3509, and 3510 to the school that already has 49% of its students qualifying for FARMs. Or maybe, just maybe, the PP thought it might be poor form to send 318 Hispanic students to the school that is 44.3% Hispanic.

Did none of you read the recent Washington Post article written when Loudoun tried to do the same thing and was publicly shamed into backtracking? Are we trying to make front page news as the most overtly racist/classist Virginian county? Maybe the DOJ doesn't have anything better to do with their time this year, because I have a feeling they will be hearing about this. [/quote]

Yes, I did also have that thought. It's a tough balance to be sure and I think there are many, many factors to consider.[/quote]
