[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that if they blend the diversity map and the efficiency map, they could have something reasonable, that doesn't look too crazy, minimizes additional busing costs, and improves diversity. I don't really care about the rest of the criteria. Alignment? My PU doesn't have it now and somehow all the kids have a managed to survive. Proximity? The expanded walk zones that the community "reported" are not reliable because people used that process to try to get their desired outcome (e.g. sending certain kids to Drew from the Oakridge walk zone and keeping Henry intact. Just read the comments on the walk zone surveys; nobody is really walking eleven blocks and crossing Columbia Pike to get their Kindergartener to school at the new Fleet). [/quote]

Staff said they will be using the expanded walk zones developed last fall that don't require any county improvements such as hawk signals to implement. They are using only what's in their control to define walk zones for this process, so what people said they would do if given another crossing guard is irrelevant. If the county does make some of the suggested improvements down the road, that could be used at that point to reconsider whether particular units get bus service to their zoned school, but no planning units will have their zoning decided based on anticipated county immprovements.[/quote]
