Boston Schools Zone Out

It turns out that Boston's new school zoning proposal was even crappier than previously reported, so it's back to the drawing board, reports the Globe. How crappy? One of the zones, the one that would have included the North End and parts of Roxbury, didn't have enough seats for 616 middle schoolers, an entire school's worth of kids. Meanwhile, the zone that would have stretched from East Boston to Charlestown would have had a middle school that was completely empty. No word on remedial arithmetic classes for school administrators. [Globe]
