[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you 14:51.  That is exactly the case. 14:17 I have news for you as you are obviously a RCF parent.  RHPS is praying to be pushed out of Westland but we want the entire primary school to stay together.  These are our friends, our community.  Bus or divide RCF or BE or Somerset.  We paid our dues in choosing between our children,  classmate birthday parties 25 minutes away in a different town, double the PTA costs, double the everything, our smallest children bused 20 minutes away from home at tender ages with very little to no benefit in the sake of diversit.  We deserve to stay together with our community at the new middle.  We earned it.  Not to mention in every other way Option one clearly makes the most sense.  It is by FAR the most equitable and fair to all.[/quote]

If what you say is true...  That all the RHPS parents want out of Westland than that makes it easy.  I think RHPS should go to the neighborhood MS if they want and so should RCF.

Again if what you say is true than lets just go ahead and do option # 6.  It not a matter of we sacrificed do someone else should suffer.  Why does anyone have too?[/quote]

Don't be obtuse, that gives the new middle a 20% Farms rate and Westland less than 5% Farms... zero diversity economically and ethnically.   The whole point of the busing of small children at RHPS is for diversity.  If that doesn't matter, then why do it?. BECAUASE IT DOES MATTER.  If my 5 yeat old cam handle a 20 minute bus ride to school to make things equitable diverse and fair, then your 13 year old at RCF certainly can![/quote]

If it matters why isn't bussing Somerset or Westbrook on the table.   If it matters to RHPS than let them get bussed but don't just offer up other communities to be bussed who don't want to.[/quote]
