[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I will try to say this as clearly as I can, for the benefit of others who may actually be interested. [b]If a student does not live within the walk zone of any school, then they will ride a bus. [/b]This is the case for tens of thousands of students. Many of these students' neighborhoods without a closeby school are comparably distant from two or three schools to which they could reasonably ride a bus. When determining which of these non-walkable but also not-far schools a neighborhood should attend, MCPS looks at demographic characteristics so that the adjacent schools can have similarly diverse student bodies, when possible.[/quote] Which, actually, raises a question: How come we never hear a peep from the obsessed PP about the large number of students who live within walking distance of their school (1.0 mile for ES, 1.5 miles for MS, 2.0 miles for HS) but nonetheless get bused because it's not safe for them to walk?[/quote]
