[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]do you know how ridiculous this statement sounds:):
[b] (the implication being that kids from poor areas will be bused to affluent schools in N Arlington, and N Arlington kids will be bused to South Arlington).[/b]

So, basically the demographics would remain the same in this scenario--but the bus ride would be longer for each group.

No, no and no.  We are very active with Arlington Co. school board.  My spouse has spoke at several of the meetings/hearings.  This is not an issue.

Besides--how do you think it will play out when all of the million dollar home residents that currently walk to their elementary schools are going to be bussed across town.  Complete anarchy and not ever a scenario they'd realistically consider.  Hell-- they have busing issues as it is.  You really think they are going to create more (and longer) bus routes.

The only boundary issues that are on-going are for the new elementary schools.  This effects the same demographics/populations---just taking the overflow from N.Arl school and moving some to the brand new N.Arl school.  Nobody is complaining about this because the schools are equal.  The plans for the next few years are all in this same circle.  None of these students are going to be bused to S.Arl.

Not PP but I don't think she said ALL kids from N. Arlington would be bused to S. Arlington and ALL kids from S. Arlington would be bused to N. Arlington.[/quote]
