[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Well, Murch doesn't fare well either. There was no discussion of how students would get to school every day or aftercare. If they bus, what is the additional cost of that? There is no easy bus route from the Murch neighborhood to Lafayette unless you go all the way up to friendship heights first. Driving your kid up there and back is going to add what, 45 minutes to people's commutes?

I have nothing but sympathy for Murch families, seriously.[/quote]

Please ask this of them at the Murch meeting tomorrow night.  I cannot make it.  It's a huge issue and as far as what they have said so far, they haven't put any thought into this at all.  DCPS doesn't have a huge fleet of buses at their disposal (mostly some specialty use busses that are already being used for other purposes), so this seems like a huge added cost.[/quote]

Wherever Murch ends up, there will be issues with getting kids to and from school and beforecare and aftercare unless before/aftercare are somehow moved to the swing site. [/quote]
