[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the ability to walk to school is huge: - For mental health (of you and the kids) in terms of ease of getting to/from school (including the ability to call a neighbor at the last minute and ask them to walk your kid home), - For a connected and engaged school community, where it is easy for families to volunteer, stay for PTA meetings, etc. It is much harder to generate that sort of community if people have a 30 minute drive to get there. - To help the surrounding neighborhood (including neighbors and businesses) feel invested and engaged with the school - For a stable student population that (generally) would stay in the school for the full time I hope DCPS considers these sorts of intangibles in the current discussions about boundaries and school assignments.
