The success of this reconiguration will all depend on the new boundaries drawn. The current boundaries are drawn along "Class" lines; if this does not change it will all be for nought. The attendance areas can and should be balanced by SES. I disagrre with the guess that separate but equal is "Better". If students from less affluent families are going to school with the more affluent students the inequities that now exist will be less likely to develop in the new configuration.
