I really just want my kids to go to the school closest to us.  I have no desire to put them on a bus for an extended trip across the county 2x per day.  Further, I want my involvement in the school to be easy and I want to be a part of my community.  I'd like to see my neighbor at school, the pool, the local library, the grocery store.  If I need to run over to school for something, it should be a quick drive, not 20-30 min involving major roads.

For the magnets, I'd want to see an all or nothing proposition.  Put a reasonably distanced magnet program in each cluster.  The idea that there are 2 MS magnets is nuts.  Why should kids have to sit on a bus for 39-45 min to get to school?    And the 30-45 min goes both ways---western county kids who would like to attend the TP magnet have to sit in a bus.  If you implement SES bussing, you're putting the TP MS kid on a bus to a western school for 39-45 min.  That's not fair to any child.[/quote]

+1 Well said.      I would only like to see redistricting to relieve overcrowding, and to keep kids at the closest school to their home.       (This also helps with environmental and traffic issues.)   [/quote]
