….thats what Flo Analytics says it does, so feel free to take it up with them.[/quote]

I mean it's obvious. Why didn't they send Potomac to Kennedy? Use your brain.[/quote]

Ok.  What’s your point?[/quote]

Option 3 is a pretty reasonable effort to prioritize the demographics factor. It also does ok on utilization, which only Option 2 achieves as well with massive split articulations . I do not think Option 3 is unserious. I could see it being the starting point for refined options.[/quote]

A pretty reasonable effort to prioritize the demographics factor would not reassign current walkers to become long bus riders. That is not reasonable by MCPS's own statements. If students are already riding a bus for +/- 30 minutes, then I have no problem with them being reassigned to a different bus route/school. But walkers should stay walkers, and board members have been saying this all along.[/quote]

Unfortunately, school buildings are not located perfectly in terms of geography and many kids that could currently walk are currently bussed to other schools.[/quote]

Sure, but these options don't fix that. They should.[/quote]

Or at least not make it worse.[/quote]

Then advocate for Option 1.

There are a bunch of overcrowded high schools and two new high schools. Some kids are going to have to change schools and some of those kids will have to travel longer to get to school. That is life. Sometimes, it isn't what you want, but it is what has to happen.[/quote]
