So now that everyone must be able to walk to their closest school, the neighborhoods that are zoned in such a way that their schools aren't as likely to become overcrowded due to lower density of housing/higher housing costs are just going to be able to remain under capacity in perpetuity. Sounds equitable to me. [/quote]

Proximity has always been a primary factor in school assignments. That isn’t new.

And planning for a program at WB to draw students from across the county is no more harebrained than gerrymandering boundaries or extensive busing schemes. There’s no “in perpetuity” here. [/quote]

That's the problem their is one group that can walk and is being forced elsewhere. [/quote]

Where? In Option A? No, there's not.

I'm really sick of hearing about some people being "forced" elsewhere. Yeah, that's what happens in a boundary reassignment. And sometimes, it will be you and other times not. And because we didn't build the schools in perfect locations, you may have to be moved to a school that isn't the exact closest one, in order to balance enrollment and other community concerns.

I think pp is referring to kids who are going to Kenmore in this map and are outside of the official walk zone for Swanson, but can cut down the bike path and it's feasible to walk so their parents want them zoned for Swanson instead. Nevermind that APS would still need to send a bus through its full route in those neighborhoods.[/quote]
