[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am voting for Option 3 along with a bunch of other people I know. Makes the most send to address racial inequities and demographic changes. Kids are very resilient. It’s not as big of a deal to have split articulation and bussing.It 
may actually be good for your kid.[/quote]

Show me the data that supports bussing my black child to a white school for their benefit. You’ll see data supporting how it benefits the white students, not the non-white students.[/quote]

actually I don't think you even see that.  the results of busing are "very mixed" in terms of student outcomes.

uh...googling around for something that summarizes, here's this:
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/can-school-buses-improve-access-for-students-without-driving-down-academic-outcomes/

"We find no effects of long or very long bus rides on zoned school students, but deleterious effects on attendance and chronic absenteeism among district choice students. Long or very long bus rides decrease attendance by 0.17-0.28 percentage points – roughly one-third to one-half school days each year – and increase chronic absenteeism by 1 percentage point."[/quote]
