[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree that allowing grandfathering is needed and is a very good thing.

However, I think this is just a bone the SB is trying to throw us to seem responsive when really they need to scrap this poorly-designed boundary review, deal with the urgent concerns on a school-by-school basis, and reconceive the county-wide policy and review.

We need to keep up the pressure to stop this boundary review and use all the community feedback and learning in a thoughtful way rather than forging ahead.[/quote]

+100. A policy of grandfathering with no assurance of transportation seems like an exercise in damage control combined with further pitting families against one another.  It may give some people “relief” but it doesn’t change the fact that this entire boundary review has been ill-conceived and poorly executed.  [/quote]

High schoolers drive.  Get a carpool going and pay a high school kid to take the neighborhood to school. [/quote]

So the policy is to encourage more teen drivers at times when there are already lots of other cars on the roads?  Nothing could possibly go wrong there. [/quote]

The teen drivers are already on the road.  It might actually be fewer teen drivers because of carpooling
