+1 I don't think we need to be turning walkers into bus riders, but if you're a bus rider anyway, there are some reasonable PU shifts that could happen to move us in the right direction. |

Fine. Bus your minorities over to us. I'm fine with that, but I'm not putting my kid on a longer bus ride to satisfy you. We already board a bus at 7am. |

| I see the slides from tonight, but where are the blended maps? |

You ride the bus with your child? God help this generation. |

Whatever, douche. Next time buy a house in a decent school zone instead of whining that now everyone else kids should be bused over so your kid isn't the only white one. |

Blended maps are the bottom five on this page. https://www.apsva.us/middle-school-boundary-illustrative-draft-maps/ |

So looks like a lot of Williamsburg and Swanson blends into current TJ and Gunston (especially west neighborhoods near Mckinely man those people get the shaft -- over crowded elem and then rezoned to Gunston) Of course Discovery/Nottingham/Jamestown stay in their preferred MS, so just blending among the less monied folks. |

| I'm never t seeing a map where McK neighborhoods go to Gunston. I think alignment makes sense. |

Parts of Tuckahoe and McKinely go to Gunston: https://www.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Scenario_H_Draft5-1.pdf https://www.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ESZones_Letter_2017.pdf Alignment means consistent pyramids of schools (Elem -> Same MS -> same HS)? That won't be happening. |

Sorry I meant Kenmore. A much larger swath of McK goes to Kenmore in the alignment map, including much of glebe https://www.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Scenario_B_Draft5.pdf |

Kenmore, sorry not Gunston |

No, that's Kenmore. Gunston is purple. |

No one in McKinley or Tuckahoe would go to Gunston, look at the dang map. Are you referring to Kenmore? And, that would have alignment- part of McK->Kenmore->Yorktown (others McK->Swanson->Yorktown). It's not uncommon to have an ES split between MS, and here the kids would be back together for HS |

| Actually, some of those McK-Kenmore split in the 2nd would then go to WL. It's totally fractured. |
