[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This pisses me off.  I will have a 6th and 8th grader in 2019.

Swanson is really far.  Bus comes at 7am.  Older travel teams (ms/HS) get late practice times.

I end up driving my child because we can leave the house at 7:30am.  He sleeps until 7am.

Now I will have one child all the hell way out in Swanson and the other at Stratford.  Two start times at two different MS will NOT work.

Draw a hard line and move everyone!!  This is what happened to me in Fairfax County when my boundary was changed.

They let fricking twins get into HB under the same rationale--2 kids different places.[/quote]

Take a deep breath. When they've done these kinds of changes in the past, they have allowed exceptions to allow families to send their children to the same school during the years they have multiple children in that level. If they're not planning to have an 8th grade at Stratford that first year, it may mean that your 6th grader can stay in Swanson for 6th and then transfer to Stratford for 7th.

No matter what policy the school board selects for moving students, it will create a problem for someone. Given that the worst case solution for you is to have your kids get up 30 minutes earlier and take the bus, I think your potential impact is far from the worst.[/quote]
