Awesome news--more municipalities need to do this!
I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge.

Can assigning teachers to alternative classrooms & schools within same school district lead to better student outcomes?
Alternative assignment that makes no teacher worse off ⬆️ student scores 7% of standard deviation!

How much student learning do you think a school district could gain just by better assigning its teachers to schools?
Consider a quite politically-feasible change. Do not let district make any assigned teacher worse off, nor change teacher hiring, nor compensation, nor the students.
