School diversity
Reporter Linda Ebbing, who covers Hamilton City Schools, sends me the following information you may be interested in.
At redistricting forums concerning boundaries of new schools Wednesday and Thursday, some parents and educators said that the new elementary school, Riverview, should be more diverse. Both Harrison and Jefferson will be the feeder schools to Riverview. They are about 75 percent non-white and some parents argue that the students should be given the opportunity to attend more diverse schools. Administrators haven’t yet responded to the argument.
What do you think? Should children be bused out of their neighborhood so they can go to a diverse school? If you have an opinion on the matter please contact Linda Ebbing at lebbing@coxohio.com

Didn’t they try busing a while ago? Didn’t it cause white flight and even further spread apart the races? I know the education system has some serious issues, but I don’t think busing is the answer.By Julia

Didn’t they try busing a while ago? Didn’t it cause white flight and exacerbate segregation? I know the education system has some serious issues, but I don’t think busing is the answer.
