[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plus the bus to the new location surely will not be free. I believe YY's is around $200/month.[/quote]

And I'm sure a lot of YY parents from NW and the Hill can afford that.  Nice for them, but irrelevant.  If MV is serious about keeping the Hispanic families who live near the current location, they will need to offer a bus service - gratis.  If it's not free, then many families simply can't do it.

Doesn't Potomac Lighthouse offer free bus service?

I don't know if what you are saying is actually true.  I have talked to several Hispanic families at MV that are local or take public trans to the school and asked if the move is an issue.  Most expressed their intention to stay and take public trans to the new location.  Like you, I think maintaining the balance of native spanish-speaking families is important and have mentioned to the MV admins that they should directly address this issue by just asking the families if the new location is feasible and what they would need to stay.  Until that happens, I think it is premature to assume that a free bus is necessary (although that would be great) for families to stay or no deal.  I ride the metro with many of these families and they like other families around the city (Wards 3, 7 and 8) that attend MV value the school and may go the extra mile to get there.[/quote]
