[quote=Anonymous]Parents could pay for a bus and they absolutely would if Peabody/Watkins were still the most desirable school on the Hill, like they were ~20 years ago. Parents pay for buses from CH to Latin, YY, MV, etc. It's just that now parents would rather go to Brent/Maury/L-T, so the community will to pay for a bus just isn't there. All that said, I think the district should absolutely provide a bus when they split the zone in a crazy way. But a better solution is just fixing the zone. Watkins is way oversized for boundary/purpose; it could easily become a tradition PK3-5 with a normal zone. Peabody could be a stand alone ECE to deal with neighborhood overflow in exactly the same way AT LP does. In fact, it would be less disruptive to schools like Miner if they weren't getting OOB Maury kids where the chance that they stay is 0% taking ECE slots from W7/8 kids who might stay.[/quote]
