[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those kids who do not get into Barcroft (and they cannot all get in, not even close) would then have to take a bus to Randolph - yes low income kids who are walkers will become bused kids. Nice, huh.

The UMC kids will continue to choice out, some to immersion, because Randolph is not walkable and considered even more challenged than Barcroft. If they neighborhood is split up and the northern edge goes to Barrett, they will no longer be walkers either, because walkers cannot cross route 50.

So, let's make an entire walkable neighborhood now take the bus, especially lower income kids. A large percentage of kids do choice out of Barcroft, but a large number do not - enough to fill the school. Only recently, Barcroft was one of the most overcrowded schools in the county.

Nice try idiot. 
Randolph is right next door. STFU.[/quote]

Not a fan of the PP's tone, but he's got a point. The distance between Barcroft and Randolph is .09 mile. So you're not exactly disenfranchising an entire community by moving them 10 blocks down the road...[/quote]
