[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I completely agree.

The grandfathered kids are sophomores to seniors.

Providing busses is a waste of taxpayer money because the number of kids riding the bus vs carpooling with friends is hoing to be insignificantly tiny.[/quote]

The boundary study and potential boundary changes are the waste of taxpayer money.  You aren’t fooling anyone.  [/quote]

How? What?

You think people who want grandfathering of high school kids haven't been fighting against the boundary changes?

These posters are just nuts.  They must be trolls.

They are counting on you to fold like a deck of cards as long as your own kids can finish HS at their existing schools if you can toss them a pair of car keys.  You don’t care at all about the kids who’ll have to attend schools they didn’t want to attend or who can’t arrange for their own transportation.  Gross. [/quote]
