John Tedesco may choose to live in an integrated community, but that decision requires enough money to make the choice. Many residents of Walnut Terrace would like to live in the affluent subdivisions of Apex if they had the choice.
The current policy recognizes that children without financial resources can benefit from the resources provided by a strong PTA, which is provided either by attracting affluent families or busing the children to affluent schools. This is no more profiling than planning to segregate children in low-income schools but costs the school system less.
If a child is bused to a good school and the child is getting the same education as the children of higher income parents there can be no problem - unless we are profiling that child as a trouble maker, as someone who does not belong, as someone the school would be better without.
