[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] A few miles means at least 30 minutes on a bus during rush hour, and that's within current clusters. My friend's kids' bus takes 40 minutes for one mile. Busing across current clusters might take an hour or more, as the magnet busing shows - Bethesda to Takoma Park is 90 minutes in the afternoon. [/quote] By all means, go to the BoE meeting and say that you're opposed to this change because kids are already getting bused long distances (of one mile) and it's already too much.[/quote] I do say it, and others agree. If you operate in good faith, can you stretch your logical skills to understand that if it takes that much time to bus a short distance, it will take a lot more time to bus a longer distance? We are against busing long distances because we can extrapolate from what's already happening. Additionally, existing long-distance busing for special needs and magnet students already take far too long. [/quote]
