Boundaries aim for balance among three high schools
A reader letter criticizes the Tustin School Board for choosing a boundary intended to balance demographics, blending neighborhood school concepts with busing to mix students from different racial and economic groups across Foothill Beckman and Tustin High. The writer laments perceived favoritism toward Foothill and Irvine areas while displacing Santa Ana demographics.
