How to Gerrrymander School Districts: A Primer
Where to draw the lines?
School districts are not natural phenomena; they are political constructs. We don’t often use the term “gerrymandering” to refer to education, but this excellent piece by Vox spells out why we should.

None are about education sadly, but the gerrymandering chapter is fascinating.)
