Deseg again

Two years ago a lot of us agitating for a vote on the Red Plan complained that by splitting the City down the middle the Red Plan would move us in the direction of greater segregation. So far it looks like the new Central middle school once its completed will be in immediate violation of the State’s Desegregation statute. I was told its 3535.

Another rumor has it that while letting minority kids opt out of this new elementary school could be a solution it won’t be possible because there will be no room in other schools for them to attend.

Don’t worry. Even as I write this committees are being set up to wring their hands over this sad state of affairs.
