You aren't "balancing" diversity and proximity by only disrupting the walk zone at one school. That's saying to Westover that their walk zone is not as important as everyone else's walk zone. On map 1H, you can just as easily take Williamsburg kids who live in the lower middle of the Williamsburg zone and are already on a bus and move them down Glebe Road or George Mason to Carlin Springs. Busting up the Swanson walk zone also disregards the traffic impact to Westover, which is about to get a new 725 student elementary school blocks away from Swanson. [/quote]

All the Westover kids will be walking to Reed, right? If someone were walking distance to ES, MS, and HS (Cherrydale springs to mind, and no, that's not where I live) and policies were changed so they were bused for every grade, I would think that's unreasonable. Three years of middle school on a bus? Yes, it's a drag, but I don't think it should be a show-stopper.[/quote]

Reed is getting a lot of buses. Reed is going to be 725+ kids, and it sits within 1 mile from McKinley. So there are kids who qualify as walkers to either school because the walk zones overlap. That means a good portion of both school buildings will be filled with kids coming in on buses.  [/quote]
