[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You could request an administrative transfer for one of them? [/quote]

its the beginning of the process.  Don't get angry- provide feedback.  I have found that at early stages, they are open to feedback.  I watched the work session- the SB is particularly looking for feedback on whether to grandfather or move.  Or you can ask that they allow 6th graders to stay with 8th grade siblings.
They can't let just a few 8th graders move- they either move all the 8th graders or none of them.  A lot of people are opposed to kids moving for their 8th grade year.  [/quote]

There was a new high school in Gainesville.  They gave the OPTION of currently enrolled kids zoned for new school to move to new one or stay in current one.  It worked out.  My nephews were a Junior and Senior both stayed.  Their brother 6 years younger started at the new one since he is 6 years behind.

They can most definitely move a portion and they have shown they already have capacity for those that want to stay.  Lower class sizes for those kids is a bonus.  They can have the HB experience for one year.  They have ti have staff in the new school anyways.[/quote]
