[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all this redrawing the boundaries talk, is there a distance you live from a school where they will not be allowed to change your designated school?  Like if you live on the same block as a school?  If you’re considered a walker and don’t have an assigned bus?  If you live within a half mile?  Or is no one safe?[/quote]

"Safe"?

My house is now zoned for a different elementary school, a different middle school, and a different high school from when we moved in. It's still standing. We're still living in it. No disasters have happened.[/quote]

Ok, but some of us have kind of planned our lives around the situations we live in. Like we have a TH on a busy street with no off-street parking and a yard too small for a kid older than a toddler to play in, but that's okay, because the kids can walk to our entire school pyramid, play on the elementary school playground after school, and walk home from activities when older. If we got rezoned to a school across a highway, my kids would have to bus home and wouldn't be able to play outside with friends, or have after school activities when a parent needs the one family car to commute. So no, it's not a safety disaster, but if we got rezoned it would be enough of a hit to quality of life that I'd seriously consider moving, which we can't really afford right now. [/quote]

Being a planner is useful to a point, but seriously don’t borrow trouble by worrying this much. If there is a change in school assignment it will be pretty rare that it affects homes so close to the schools like you. And it will be years in the making so you will have plenty of time to move if that’s important to you. There are going to be a lot of sudden changes in your kids’ lives that you don’t have control over so you will have to be flexible. This probably won’t be one of them though.[/quote]
