The school system in New York is under the state's law and state's jurisdiction.
Those come before the 'city' concerns.
Opening up the selective high schools in NYC requires state approval, not city.
Don't expect the the specialty schools to play ball by this change of heart.
Locales are segregated, which makes schools segregated.
It's the same business.
The difference on LI and Westchester is the 'district' separation is taxation separation.
Few bad schools cost less to the city than a ton of bad ones. Let NY give up all federal funding for it's schools to be PC. Great idea.
NYC isn't opening up the selective high schools in these desegregation plans. They are rezoning school districts and integrating that way, or in the case of the plans referred to earlier they are awarding a certain number of slots to students who are ESL or from nearby housing projects, etc.
What LI and Westchester do or don't do have nothing to do with the city does in integrating NYC schools, and there's no way that they are going to bus people from LI and Westchester to NYC. Whatever is done in those localities foe desegregation will have to be dealt with their local governments.
If you live in de Bozo's lily-white Park Slope, which has elementary schools with few disadvantaged minorities (a kid whose dad is a doctor and speaks no Spanish, and has the last name of Gonzalez, is not a minority), you have nothing to worry about.
In the words of George Wallace - "segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" (or something like that).
If you live in Brownsville - be prepared for a thousand homeless people moving to your neighborhood.

Brownsville is full of public housing. Why would they care about homeless people moving to the hood? Your post makes no sense.
Also the NYC DOE is integrating public schools in neighborhoods with substantial gentrification (UWS, DUMBO, etc). DUMBO is even more expensive than Park Slope. Ditto UWS.

I heard that the Obamas are moving up here after their lease with the White House expire soon. Let's see where and whom they choose to integrate with here in NYC...Judging from that they have been speaking loud for the interests and rights of residents in areas like Brownsville and alike, I assume that neighborhoods like Browsville will be on top of their list...

Which school in UWS and DUMBO? The plans have been halted after severe opposition from rich parents. The current plan discussed in this thread is targeted at neighborhoods that might be gentrified and quotas will be in place before the mythical white men arrives and takes over.

DUMBO has not been halted, it's still an ongoing fight. As for UWS, this still leaves PS 199 overcrowded and the parents are still complaining about that. So they will have to do something. Place them in another school that has open slots.
