[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s ok to bus kids past their nearest school if (and only if):
1.  You can guarantee reliable transportation, especially for the areas in the county that are being planned as car less
2.  You allow and provide transportation to closer elementary schools for extended day
3.  You provide a transparent means of transferring to your closest school that accounts for hardships and family circumstances 
My kids bus has been reliably late for the six years we have been in elementary school.  We report it, they claim to work on trying to fix it, it doesn’t get resolved and by October/November everyone either walks or bikes/drives anyways.  Most of the parents in my neighborhood don’t have cars, I’m not sure what we would do if we couldn’t walk when the bus doesn’t show up.  It doesn’t really matter if my entire neighborhood is going to an unwalkable school— though I guess we could share an Uber when the bus doesn’t show up.[/quote]

Relax and face reality. You’ll be just fine at your new school.  As awesome as it’d be to have no cars, no where in Arlington is “being planned as car less”.[/quote]
