[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many location constraints in Arlington that the days of ideal placement of option schools is over. Obviously immersion needs to be where Spanish speakers are in high concentration in order to obtain close to a 50:50 mix, but beyond that the option schools need to go to areas that can bear to give up neighborhood seats, and those locations probably won’t be in the center of the county.[/quote]
I just disagree with people that it's only ok to bus kids who choose to be bused.  Kids go where their school district needs them to go.  One child isn't any more important or entitled to go to the closest school than any other.[/quote]

i agree. set a hard cap every year and anyone who registers after cap is reached is to be bussed to another school (choice or otherwise) with seats. pair up a few overcapcity schools with one that's under and bus kids in bulk. and do extensive outreach to make bussed families feel they're really a welcomed part of the new school community.

stop with the walkability nonsense, we all know what it means. and bussing is forever cheaper and flexible than building new schools.[/quote]
