I really think a lot of the white families had safety concerns, partially due to magnet schools bringing kids from housing projects to schools in their neighborhood.<br /><br />It's important to maintain desegregated classrooms, but a better approach would be to send higher performing kids to better schools if their neighborhood school is failing them, rather than busing kids all over the city. Let's face it... all school districts have a contingent of students that are disruptive, but certain areas have it more than others. KCPS tried to spread it around rather than keep it contained, and it ruined the experience for everyone.<br /><br />I think the Hale Cook school is a great way to change people's minds about the district.Bryan M.
