[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t we move Kenmore somewhere like Career Center and build a full size high school there??  Is it still about buses???[/quote]

Exactly!! Kenmore's campus is 30 acres. It was always the natural site for a 4th high school. How many years have they wasted at this point and gotten nowhere? Rebuild Kenmore MS at VHC and make Kenmore a HS. Done![/quote]

The CC is just down the street from TJ. It makes no sense to have two neighborhood middle schools right next to each other.[/quote]

Listen we are a small county and have to deal with our limited options. We bus kids in Rosslyn past two other neighborhood schools to Taylor so this is hardly unique to them. It’s the middle of the county at that. [/quote]

There are many more elementary schools than middle schools.  It's to be expected to be within close distance to multiple schools.  But it really does not make any sense to put two full regular middle schools right next to each other.  in this case, it would be literally 5 short blocks - a ten minute walk at most.  They would have the exact same walk zone; so are you just going to split the walk zone in half and screw with the demographics at each school?  There's no need to move Kenmore.  Plenty of room for a high school as well as a middle school there.  The point is, we may have limited options; but we definitely have reasonable and feasible options other than putting two neighborhood middle schools right next to each other.
