Why, people overpaid for their homes and expect the market to continue to rise, which may or may not happen.  The w community wanted the new school.  What did they think would happen. [/quote]

Most people thought they would have half of WJ go to Woodward, and then they would add an elementary school from the DCC to each of them. No one thought they would be bused across the county to the worst performing school in the county (speaking about Farmland under Option 3). Most also assumed WJ and Woodward would be similar demographically, FARMS rate, etc.[/quote]

You're talking as though Option 3 is a done deal. I actually think it illustrates the limitations of this boundary study because the FARMS rates in the DCC barely change in this option. It seems obvious to me the costs, including the time spent by kids on the bus and the difficulties for families to participate in school communities, are not remotely worth it, and this option seems like it was designed to show that.[/quote]

+1. Not to mention the extra staffing and maintenance costs, and the negative environmental impacts.[/quote]
