[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SB's job is not to build affordable housing.  That belongs to the supervisors.
The SB's job is to educate the children in the most effective way with the resources they are given.  We can talk all day about building affordable housing,but that is the future--just as building a new high school.

For now, the boundaries should reflect in this order:
proximity/commute time
community (keeping feeder schools together as much as possible)
SES should be considered when possible--but not to require busing past other communities

Obviously, schools like Langley which is at the edge of the county will have strange boundaries.  There is no way to draw a circle around Langley--because then you are in Arlington.  That is just a fact.[/quote]

I mostly agree with this post, although [b]I can’t figure out if you omitted capacity in your list or if it is implied[/b] in your resources comment and you felt it unnecessary to list?  Because capacity needs to be utilize Id as much as possible as the rest of the factors are considered.  Obviously long bus rides are NOT the ideal way to deal with school boundary issues.[/quote]

PP here.  I just assumed that consideration of capacity is a given.[/quote]

Big assumption given some of the clueless School Board members.[/quote]
