[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]

Overall, I don't think alignment is critical, either; except our PU splits off from elementary AND from middle school.  The middle school split is worse, in my opinion, because our kids have already left behind many friends leaving elementary school, and friendships change so much during the three short years of middle school just to be split off from them again heading into high school.  Especially with an additional middle school coming on line soon, aligning MS with HS should become easier.
