This reminds me of a situation the Chicago Board of Ed faced in the 90s, when they tried to set up single-sex schools. It was very controversial. In the end, it didn't happen.
I remember that all the lefty goo-goo types, who hold a lot of sway on issues like this in Chicago, were really divided - the ACLU board members were split pretty evenly as half thought this was the best method for gender equality, and the other half thought that single-sex schools was "separate but equal" segregation.
Personally, having graduated from the Chicago Public School system not too long ago, I think this is a bad idea. It's more important to integrate everyone at the same school; nothing breaks down barriers like getting to know people who are different than you.
Also, having graduated from the CPS system not too long ago, I have absolutely zero faith that the Board of Ed won't fuck it up.
