Several years ago Ph.D. students in the @UrbComp program began research to help schools with redistricting. It is still going strong!

[The Sanghani Center at Virginia Tech @SanghaniCtrVT]

Exploring the best way of automatically generating school redistricting plans is ongoing @SanghaniCtrVT & has already benefitted schools like @LCPSOfficial. Ph.D. student Fanglan Chen was interviewed after a presentation at EAAI 2023. Learn more: https://t.co/LObnH0wip5
