lol no matter how you shade that district, there was no way it wasn't going to skew my color scale. Palmisano got 95% of the vote everywhere

Biggest celeb in this photo if confirmed!

Is that former NPR host and MN alum Michele Norris in the background?

Oh and FYI @joshmartinmpls.bsky.social on X explained my math here is inelegant/inaccurate — I think the basic ideas still hold but don’t go quoting these numbers or nothin

thanks David!

Explore the data across the Twin Cities in this story, which ran in our @axios.com newsletter this morning >> www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

This all coincides with a resurgence of school segregation in the Twin Cities — and there’s some evidence that open enrollment is making the problem worse

A study of 2010 data found that white parents flocked in larger numbers to districts that were whiter than their own

On the other extreme is Minneapolis Public Schools.

MPS' overall enrollment has stabilized, but OPEN enrollment remains a huge drain. Students went to:

• Robbinsdale (971)
• Edina (856)
• Hopkins (754)
• Columbia Heights (710)

…and in smaller but still big #s elsewhere >>

🗺️ In 13 out of 47 districts in the metro, at least 20% of the student body comes from open enrollment

WHY THIS MATTERS: State dollars follow students who open enroll

So each incoming student brings additional state funding to a district, and each student lost comes at a cost.
