It not the redistricting primarily, it the end of open enrollment, and end of second language clusters due to statutory compliance. <br /><br />It may be time for the super and two board members to meet with Morales and Acosta.

If it's not, this is one of those situations where I just can't understand the perspectives of Mr. Morales and Mr. Acosta, as hard as I try. Are we all just talking past each other or is there some common ground of facts and understanding somewhere?jmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270815429299703055.post-56097614553938810552009-11-11T10:45:15.822-05:002009-11-11T10:45:15.822-05:00Anon 8:32

If so the article is misleading because it makes it sound like everything is due to redistricting based on income. Redistricting and ending open enrollment are related, but not the same thing.Rick Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04347110422224233217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270815429299703055.post-11319545340233867702009-11-11T08:32:23.364-05:002009-11-11T08:32:23.364-05:00These people are unbeliavable:
