[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Takoma Park's busing is very limited: outskirts neighborhoods and magnets only. I think there would be enough magnet seats in early years because it will take time for Deal/Wilson in-bound parents to buy-in when they have convenient schools nearby. Families who opt-out of IB often choose charters instead of OOB options - and those charters all over the city. Moreover, many Ward 7 and 8 parents go OOB already: [b]Takoma Elementary is 99% OOB and most of those kids are coming from Wards 7-8.[/b] The city could use some of its transportation funds and fund shuttles for Wards 7-8 parents attending WOTP schools in the name of diversity or metro subsidizes for elementary school parents. [/quote] FFS get your facts right. Most recent public data: Takoma is 58% IB; Shepherd is 43% IB. [/quote]
