[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The building was needed whether for HB or Hamm. If you think the building was too much, go advocate to the board the next time they want to build a new building to lower the cost. The actual program doesn’t cost more than at a standard HS, other than busing. And I don’t see anyone complaining about the busing at Claremont, Key, MPSA, ATS, or Gunston.[/quote]

I complain about option school busing all the time. [/quote]

You are misinformed about the busing. With hub stops, institutes pre-pandemic, costs are down and it is a more efficient way to transport the kids. My HB DD takes the bus and picks it up at a hub stop. It also stops at the career center. At one time it stopped at the Arlington HS at the Langston building.

I'd rather start a discussion about how many parents drop their kids off at school - more cars on the road, more pollution, blocking intersections waiting for their kids at the end of the day. [/quote]

So hub stop buses are more efficient than walking to school?[/quote]

Most schools have buses. Every.single.school has buses - option or not. You can look up the bus usage online. Like it or not, there will be buses taking kids to/from school. The old bus system was a waste - multiple stops with 2 or 3 kids waiting to be picked up; in my DD's case, she was often the only one waiting to be picked up. With the institution of the hub stops, YES, it is more efficient than it was. Noone was comparing taking the bus to walking to school. If so, be more clear in your complaint. Or you just like to complain only about HB?[/quote]
