You are right. And, the "delta" of 12.82 minutes means that what is currently less than a ten minute drive is -at best- a thirty minute drive twice a day. And, that is likely in a car, not on a school bus.

KAA needs to be a traditional school. A magnet would be ridiculous. And, KAA would likely be a five minute drive.

I can't follow your math. Wouldn't the delta suggest that a current 10-minute drive would become a 22 or 23-minute drive, not a "30-minute drive at best"?[/quote]

I'm PP and drive that route (66) frequently.  It takes 20 minutes at best in a car assuming no traffic.  Do you really think it will take that on a school bus?  Have you ever driven on I-66?  At rush hour?  Go there for evening activities--again at rush hour?  Go pick your child up from after school activities?

They are using google maps' time.  That is hopeful, at best.

The bus can take the HOV express lanes.66 will be the easiest part of that commute. [/quote]

True.  And, if we lived at Fair Oaks Mall, that would be easy.  
You do realize that first one must get to I66.  My statement stands.  Just checked googlemaps.  Right now it takes over 20 minutes (in a car) using the Express Lane.  Do you really think it is going to be less than 40 minutes on a school bus?  So much for "late starts" for high school.[/quote]
