[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point is to start from scratch and make boundaries based on where schools will be in 2021 and where the kids will be living then.  Being held hostage by current boundaries and "least disruptive" is why were have some schools so crowded while others have space and why we have weird boundaries that make for crazy numbers of buses.[/quote]

Yes.  But this is hard and you don't get re-elected doing this, even if it's the best thing for the county as a whole.  I say this as someone who went through some whip lash last year because of the elementary boundaries.  It's much much better if they just DECIDE and stop all the community input.  Parents will whine and cry, kids will be upset, and then everyone will move on because this is life!

Make the effective date happen in a few years, allow some grandfathering for 4th/5th graders and siblings, and just get.  it.  done.[/quote]

Grandfathering drives up transportation costs significantly.  We will likely change schools in 2021, when my youngest will be going into 4th, and I completely oppose grandfathering.[/quote]
