[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope they can reduce busing costs. Boundaries like Wootton's are terrible. Most of the students live closer to another school.[/quote]

And then Horizon Hill neighborhood which is walkable, DOESN'T go to Wootton.

In Kensington, many families who live near Einstein also end up being bussed cross-county to WJ. These segregated boundaries from 40 years ago need to go.[/quote]

Every single time I have read claims like this, and then looked into specifics of the actual boundary, it was immediately clear that the boundaries result from constraints from the distribution of population and placements of schools.

Boundaries will be improved where it's doable, but situations like what you're describing are likely to persist after redistricting. [/quote]

LOL which is easily corrected. Why I should pay for your kids to be bussed when there's a perfectly fine school  nearby.[/quote]

Do you think you would enjoy living in a world where you only pay taxes on things that benefit you personally?[/quote]

that's exactly why we shouldn't be busing kids across the county to satisfy a few parent's whims[/quote]

Whatever happened to neighborhood schools? I guess that's only good when you believe it's in your personal interests...[/quote]
