[quote=Anonymous]The new borders stretch far away from MacArthur's current borders and are not reflective of neighborhood school. Children who can currently walk to MacArthur will need to be bussed to George Mason. Children who can currently walk to Patrick Henry will need to be bussed to MacArthur through the traffic of seminary and Duke which can take often take 20 minutes. This makes it more difficult for families to be involved and  attend after school events. That is not a neighborhood school and the school board admits this is true.

Another problem with these fluctuating Middle School and Elementary borders is that after elementary redistricting in 2026 current students will form new friendships, but those friendships will be severed as the kids are forced to different middle schools. This is HARMFUL to children in these effected neighborhoods and I don't know how you can say otherwise. There must be another map that can be drawn up to minimize the upheaval for these children.[/quote]
