[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Furthermore, I do think PROXIMITY should matter when doing school zoning. The schools we are zoned to are also the closest ones to our house, so I would also be annoyed for that reason if they changed. [/quote]

FCPS changes to 8130 could result in [b]bussing[/b] so don't get comfy.  For example Bailey's has a magnet program and via boundary changes could absorb overcrowding from a neighboring school.  Or use bussing from a high socioeconomic school.  At the 5-13-19 work session :   3 factors out of many which FCPS would consider for 8130 are facilities, socioeconomics, transportation.  As of yet no order of priority or definitions on adding/deleting bus routes, geographic proximity, capacity [with or without modulars].  FCPS could decide to relocate a modular for socioeconomic balance.

I expect property tax increases as the result of these changes plus universal pre-K.  Plus some schools have high mobility rates and others might be impacted by migration  https://www.fcps.edu/resources/family-engagement/family-engagement-resources   Budget impacts in addition to transportation could include expansion of programs like IFRP, parent liasion etc to additional sites, additional small esl classes.
