Great analysis, as usual. What I'm still really not grasping is what the district is trying to accomplish with its new elementary assignment policy. I don't understand what evidence-based research supports their claim that optimizing diversity, predictability, and proximity will improve student outcomes or familiy satisfaction. They cite no research, yet they're eager to throw the entire system into chaos every 3-5 years because they didn't do their research. None of this is good for kids!
