[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is clearly serving the interests of WSHS families. The school board doesn’t want to pick a fight with them. So chose another group they think won’t push back as much. [/quote]

But moving WSHS kids creates some of the same problems. Moving kids from the relative edge of Irving/WSHS boundary would move kids from Keene Mill or WSES, who are very likely to be Irving walkers. So you’re creating bussing in that instance. Moving kids from the neighborhoods furthest away south of the parkway re-creates the split feeder at Hunt Valley and the distance from Hunt Valley to WSHS is quite a bit shorter than the distance from HV to Lewis.

Trying to grab kids from the other side of Edison (Franconia ES) takes away Edison’s walkers, since those two schools are really close. Taking from North Springfield (Holmes/Annandale) is the only other somewhat workable option, but you still have the K-5/K-6 school issue, and on top of that I believe either move (Bren Mar Park to Key/Lewis or even North Springfield) will leave Holmes quite a bit under enrolled.
