[quote=Anonymous]Grandfathering with bussing has been the consistent policy in FCPS for boundary changes over the past 40 years.  They have not treated the situations as analogous to those who are voluntarily pupil placing kids, in recognition of how disruptive moves to a different high school already in high school can be for kids.

If they don't provide bussing, they will be creating traffic messes around schools (coinciding with the implementation of heightened security policies that people already think are going to create crowds around school entrances).

And, rather than "fair," grandfathering without bussing advantages those with parents who can either drive them or have given them cars to drive themselves.  That's a policy that favors wealthier kids and disadvantages others.

It will be interesting if this is where they land, because it will be a departure from past practice, and it will have implications for the political futures of all the current School Board members, including those like Moon and Sizemore-Heizer who are apparently contemplating runs for higher office.
