[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just reminding everyone that every option is going to have people within walking distance of one school sent to a different school further away, and neighbors on neighboring streets zoned to different schools. That's inevitable due to the geography of where schools are located and the nature of boundaries. It is true of some people now and will be true of different people in different options.  The fact that it is true of you personally in one or another of the options does not make that option any worse than the others.  Feel free to complain that you personally don't like it, but please try to restrain yourself on the "this is a terrible option because my family happens to be the ones close to X school who have to take a bus somewhere further away."[/quote]

Very true. In the current system we can walk to Northwood and Blair but are zoned for Einstein. Only one of the four options switches us to a school we could walk to. [/quote]
Same. That won't change. Blair serves too large and area that has no other school further south of it. We need a downtown SS/TP High school that will never be built. [/quote]

It makes no sense not to have a school down county.  [/quote]

They had the chance a decade ago, but balked at the options/cost, as the county had done a terrible job with planning in decades prior -- allowing all the development and not preserving workable school space inside the Beltway and east of Rock Creek.  So they moved on to reopen Woodward, instead, but that didn't mean the capacity problems to the east magically went away.  Now we have this.  Thank "Saint" Pat.[/quote]
