Rednecks, airboats and spring water
"Butch Davis" wrote in message ink.net... Many school attendance zones are based upon proximity to the school. Newer developed areas often have newer schools and a certain income level is required to afford to live in those areas. Older, less popular areas often require less income for housing, eh? Perhaps this will result in another Supreme Court decision and new busing requirements to level the playing field? After all, we can't have economic segregation, can we?

Do they really sort who goes to what public school in your area by income?? Students in San Francisco attend public schools based on a lottery. So a kid living next to a great school can end up going to a crappy school in some other neighborhood. This is to level the playing field. Ultimately, families who can afford to send their kids to private schools do so if they didn't win the public school lottery. I don't know how widespread this practice is throughout the state or nationwide. In my town north of San Francisco we bought our house based on the elementary and middle schools our kids would attend; our school district places students based on address, not lottery. |
