[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it takes a long time to get from Drew/Randolph/Carlin Springs to Discovery/Jamestown/Taylor, especially during rush hour. There is no appetite from parents on either end of the spectrum to mix it up, even without looking at the difficulty of planning and staffing bus routes. There's no opportunity to just shift the edges at the schools in the middle because those are already well balanced. [/quote] +1 Randolph is also a true neighborhood school. There is no bus loop and the location makes it pretty much impossible to add one. Lots of poverty is concentrated there but also strong community that probably wouldn’t want to be broken up. [/quote] And how would families/guardians without transportation get to Discovery/WMS/Yorktown where there is no good public transportation nearby. You essentially cut them out of any involvement in their kids schools.[/quote]
