[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s like they’re trying to throw us a bone…meanwhile it complicates things further because it’s spitting the kids again and completely not an equitable practice by not providing transportation (meanwhile transportation is provided for the “lottery-based” magnets where students will be able to attend for all three years of middle school).

Mcps is just constant changes…really shows that they don’t know what they’re doing…[/quote]

Yeah, it works well for kids who are in the walk zone to the new middle or high school, but otherwise it's pretty inequitable for kids who would need bus transportation to be shut out of this opportunity in favor of kids whose parents can drive them.[/quote]

Why not just drop off at the closest bus stop ?[/quote]

Most buses don't have many, if any, empty seats. My kids report there are often 3 to a row to get everyone in. One person might be able to get away with this, but they will definitely notice 15 or 20 extra kids trying to board the bus.[/quote]

My DCC kid is one of only 5 kids on their bus. There are 4 Hs busses that come through our neighborhood plus 3 MS busses and the CES bus.[/quote]

Ours are packed and sometimes you cannot get a seat and sit on the floor. [/quote]

My kids bus too.  We started driving to an earlier stop so she would not have to sit on the floor [/quote]
