OK, you got me.  In the Clarksburg study, they selected the option that buses the SECOND most number of kids that they could have.  That's still FAR more kids than should have been bused of diversity was DE-prioritized in the boundary policy like 90% of MoCo would like.

As for bus rides, unfortunately the boundary policy doesn't limit times spent on a bus.  So if a student has a 10 minute ride to Wootton, they could have a 25 minute ride to Gaithersburg.  This is the result of diversity being prioritized in the boundary policy back in 2018.[/quote]

That's just plain false. In the NW-SVHS-CHS boundary study, nobody who was a walker was reassigned to be bused. Everyone who is currently bused was already being bused. And many people who had been bused are now walkers.[/quote]
And many of those kids who were on buses for 10 minutes each way are now on buses for 30 minutes each way for the purposes of diversity.   That's busing.[/quote]

Yeah no, that's not busing. That's kids being bused to this school vs. kids being bused to that school. Also you need to provide specific numbers about how many of those "many of those" kids, as well as which bus routes, specifically, you're talking about.

And why do you consistently ignore the fact that, after the upcounty boundary study, MORE KIDS ARE NOW WALKERS? [/quote]

NP here. You're both right but here's a clearer statement: In the upcounty boundary study, the vast majority of kids in Clarksburg went from having a 10-15 min bus ride to a 30-35 min bus ride to the high school, and in Germantown, more kids are now walkers to the high school.[/quote]
