[quote=Anonymous]In addition to the above. they should be able to respond:
- Social changes and extra monetary/non-monetary costs for families due to the fact that kids will not be able to go to school by themselves (if parents need to stay home, i.e. do not have the extra 40 mins to/from school to ride by bus the kid to school - should they hire a babysitter)?
- Cost of parents' transportation (bus ticket ride) if they can't no longer walk to school
- Traffic impact (all out at the same time!)  and crowding of public transportation
- Net impact on school outcomes due to "desirable" families leaving DCPS (to go to private school)
- Net impact on school outcomes due to "desirable" families moving to Montgomery County
- Net impact on PTA resources (and thus academic outcomes) of reduced contributions to PTA from wealthy families leaving DCPS
- Net impact on PTA resources (and thus academic outcomes) of reduced contributions to PTA from neighborhod disaffiliation (several PTA fund-raisers, are participated by the neighborhood not only by the parents)
