[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only high school will be rezoned according to the presentations and live discussions.  If you had a kid in middle school, that might be worth considering, but younger kids have 10+ years before it matters.  You are more likely to move in ten years again anyways.[/quote]

so the elementary schools are all maintaining their boundaries? i read in a thread somewhere that parents were concerned about their ES kids being bussed away from their neighborhood school TO others further away? or maybe i misunderstood[/quote]

Kids will not be bused away from neighborhood schools.

The only potential busing across county would be if you applied to have your child go to a choice school, like Spanish Immersion, Montessori, ATS, Campbell, IB (not a current option but proposed).  The district is proposing an East/West division of the county for assignment to option schools for immersion and IB while county-wide schools remain for Campbell, ATS, Montessori.  That would mean some families in N. Arlington that want immersion would have to send their kids to Claremont in S. Arlington (rather than current option of Key in N. Arlington) and actually share classrooms with more poor and/or brown-skinned children.

Boundaries for neighborhood schools may get adjusted but there is really very little difference between all the N. Arlington elementary schools.  I wouldn't worry about it.[/quote]

You may not realize this, but there are already large N. Arlington neighborhoods where Claremont is already the only choice for immersion.  We would have liked it, but couldn't make the commuting or bus schedule work. It has nothing to do with sharing schools with "brown people" and snide comments about that on this board get very old.[/quote]
