[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why they would make 7th and 10th graders move to a new school if their inbounds school change. They should have just 6th and 9th graders implement it in the first school, so that 7th and 10th graders do not have to move to a new school, which is really disruptive. [/quote]

Then they'd be opening Woodward and Crown with no one but ninth graders there. That's not efficient, and leaves a lot of unnecessary overcrowding.[/quote]

It’s not just about efficiency. It’s about emotional toll on so many kids. We could be talking about thousands of kids here.  They’re not just numbers. [/quote]

Kids have been dealing with changing schools for decades. They are more resilient than we give them credit for.[/quote]

How about it being practical?   Kids being bussed impacts many things including activities.  Kids who are sick and parents who don’t have cars or cannot drive cannot get them easily.  Parents with health issues may not easily be able to get cross town to go to those schools, etc.  I can barely get to my kids schools 10-15 minutes away on a bad day let alone twice that far.

The question was not about busing, it was about whether the new school assignments should apply to both 9th and 10th graders.[/quote]
