Possibly the worst move DeBlasio is pushing for and probably will cause the next mayor to become an anti-progressive along with other leftist moves that were recently implemented.
Because many folks spend an enormous sum buying home in a good school district only to be met with DeBlasio spending taxpayer money to bus kids from less affluent areas into these affluent school districts. All because of diversity.
He failed to understand the principle of modern day segregation. If he can't desegregate well to do towns by sticking homeless people at various parts of the city. How would sticking poor kids in rich areas fare?
Three years ago, I remember how the Progressives at my workplace touted what a good mayor he was giving free lunch to kids and pre-K. I warned them about further progressive policies that will bite them.
Me, my wife and my ex have our eyes closely peeled to this topic. Should it effect us, we will either put the kids in private schools or I will retire and move to NJ until they graduate high school. We didn’t purchase our homes where we did so that trash can be brought to our schools. Anyone who can afford a home by us is welcome to put their kids in our schools.

Do what you gotta do. I left the country and I am loving it here.
One is bright and ambitious and went to private schools, worked hard and has good ethics, eats well, and has no criminal background. The other candidate is mediocre and is an under-achiever in everything, dropped out to deal drugs or to work at a Club, with questionable residency documents, and with a delinquent vibe, neck and face tattoos and some criminal history..
Which one will get hired? 99 times out of 100. In NYC..
The only reason I stayed in NYC as long as I have (30+ years) is that I never had kids. I'd never sacrifice a kid to the NYC school system, or pay through the nose for NYC private schools.
Whites make up a minority of NYC population, and where they are dominate it reflects in local grade school demographics. That is a fact and there isn't any way to "desegregate" public schools say on South Shore of SI, or UES of Manhattan unless you start busing white kids out, and minority students in; good luck with that, there will be a run at Home Depot on pitch forks.
The NYC public school system is 15.1% white and 16.2% asian, so there aren't enough white and asian kids to shuffle around, especially in the Bronx. I'm starting to think that the real goal is to get white and asian families to leave the city.
By borough:
BORO || % Asian || % White || Asian + White
Bronx || 4.9% || 4.3% || 9.2%
Brooklyn || 16.5% || 18.0% || 34.5%
Manhattan || 11.9% || 16.9% || 28.8%
Queens || 28.3% || 12.7% || 41.0%
Staten Island || 10.8% || 44.2% || 55.0%
If they try to bus my kids out of our area, we will continue to bring them to the schools they had been attending and immediately lawyer up. There is no way in hell my kids will be brought into a crap neighborhood for school, and I am prepared to use violence if necessary to ensure that never happens.
School today resembles Hitlers way of indoctrinating people into the nazi regime. The schools are eerily training "people of color" to hate whites. It is no coicidence they made college free for people including the illegals. Hilter made it free too because school were his primary tool for brainwashing the masses.
Think you are smart? Think again (if you even can).
Hitler also controlled all of the employment so that anybody that did not attend nazi school systems were not gaining employment.
I don't quite understand how bussing students to schools out of their district and further from their homes will help an underperforming district? Is it that higher tax revenue will follow a student who originates from a wealthier area?
