[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't argue that Westover can't get special treatment in one sentence and then say that just making option is less disruptive b/c that is the same special treatment for other neighborhoods.  I'm not going to be impacted either way, unless they bring another school into the mix, so maybe I see it without bias.  McKinley, Tuckahoe or Nottingham make sense IF there has to be an option school. [/quote]

My family also would not be impacted. Back when the school board presented the results of its walkability study it nixed the idea of tuckahoe as an option school because of its location at the edge of the county. The walk zone for Nottingham showed a lot of overlap with walk zones for tuckahoe, discovery and reed. Which is probably how Nottingham showed up in the accidentally released spreadsheet note as the IB option school. The school board is all about decreasing busing, and option at Nottingham feeds right into that objective. [/quote]

Even if you took away all of the overlapping walk zones, Nottingham is still one of the more walkable schools in the county.  Absolutely the only justification for making Nottingham an option school is ease of boundary drawing, because every single other factor weighs against it.[/quote]
