BAD IDEA: COMMENTER "NOSTRADAMUS" IN DAILY PILOT SUGGESTS SPLITTING NMUSD

This would be terrible for Costa Mesa.  We need more contact and association with Newport, not less.

If many Costa Mesa parents couldn't send their kids to Newport schools with kids who are from upwardly mobile families, they'd move out of Costa Mesa.  We can't stand to lose them.

Those who think that Newport schools are better because those schools get more money or special treatment from the NMUSD are just plain wrong.

"Better schools" simply means the STUDENTS score higher on standardized tests.  Better has nothing to do with the money, teachers, bricks, or other things that go into a school.

The money, teachers, bricks and other things in Newport Schools and Costa Mesa schools are essentially identical. The only difference is the demographics of the students.

White students in  Costa Mesa schools generally score as high on standardized tests as the White students in Newport's schools.
