I have a feeling that there are reasons why the answer to my question has already been no because it feels like such an obvious solution. Why are we not building the new school in the Fifth Ward as the future home of the Bessie Rhodes School of Global Studies? This seems like both sides win so I'm sure there's something I haven't thought of. But this way the fifth ward would get a school and as Rhodes is the magnet school doesn't that mean a majority of the kids are being bussed anyway?

Initially, BR parents were told that the new school would be the home for BR students, a school within the school model and then, that was dropped as if it were never said.
