[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While, it scratches a certain itch to imagine a much needed dose of reality shipped over to Jamestown, I'm in agreement that busing will not solve the problems the county is creating. We need actual community planning. It boggles the mind that we can know what we do about functional, diverse neighborhoods, and then do almost exactly the opposite. [/quote] If a school like Jamestown has over 10% extra capacity, I do not have a problem with busing students in from a lower performing school. However, countywide busing is a bad solution because people lose their sense of community. I don't understand why the county only looks at putting affordable housing in the south or, perhaps in the Glebe neighborhood in the north. If they really wanted to help, they would look at Waze of balancing the inequity between schools like Discovery and those in the south. [/quote]
