[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^yes.  What is being talked about is taking walkers and having them wake up 30 minute earlier to catch a 40-min bus ride (accounting for drop off and pick ups).

Real brainy idea there.  Especially when kids across the street will remain walkers.

#family/neighborhoodorientedgreencountyinitiativeS.

And I saw County Board members that have denied more schools are currently asking for a pay raise.  You can't make this stuff up...[/quote]

The above is talking about shipping rich white kids to Wakefield. Not what's on the table.[/quote]

Shipping rich white WALKERS on a bus that will add 40+ minutes on each side of their day to YHS is what is on the table.

Support less pollution, more HS sleep time and keeping neighborhood kids at the same HS.  Less bussing of HS kids that can safely walk to and from school!'

Less buses and HS drivers on our roads.[/quote]

Fine, but do that without adding poverty to Wakefield.[/quote]

[b]I'm not adding anything to Wakefield.[/b]  I don't live anywhere near Wakefield.

The people at Wakefield should be angry with the County, not other homeowners/neighborhoods all the way across the County.

The Board is doing a great job at diversion tactics to draw away from the fact they've done nothing about a problem that was well-known for over 10 years plus.  They waited until true crisis mode was upon them.  They went and built the Taj Mahal of elementary schools and wasted countless hours in that whole debacle with public Hearings, etc. and could have used that time and $ in much better places.

Lady, you are fed up at the wrong people.

You want everyone to suffer-even people and kids that have zero to do with the situation you find yourself in.  30 trailers in my kids middle school should I be mad at you about that?[/quote]

I think PP is specifically responding to the idea of moving the 386 economically disadvantaged students in planning units 3506, 3507, 3508, 3509, and 3510 to Wakefield, which will push the percentage of economically disadvantaged students well beyond 50%. Just do anything but that. Okay? There are other options. The disadvantaged students who live in those units have the option of transferring to Wakefield from W-L if they choose to prioritize proximity. They will not have the same choices if we rezone them.[/quote]
