[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are providing transportation to every student - to their in bounds school. If kids want to stay at their grandfathered school they need to provide their own transportation. I think that's reasonable and though we weren't moved this time, we are on a boundary that was highly talked about for switching high schools, and I still think this.[/quote]

They’ve provided transportation to grandfathered kids affected by boundary changes for decades, including as far back as the prior county-wide studies in the 80s.

They can change their policy now, but it will further erode trust in FCPS. It’s absurd that they’d spend over $200 million on a new high school and $85 million on a new elementary school for which the need is certainly debatable, and then refuse to spend a much smaller amount to make sure kids have the option to complete high school at their current schools.

Rich SAHM mommies from Vienna who fought off a boundary change to Marshall probably could provide transportation if their kids were redistricted, but families now actually getting moved to Falls Church and Mount Vernon may not be in the same position. [/quote]

Give it a rest, we know that you are upset because your child was moved from a highly rated HS to a lower rated HS. Deal with it.[/quote]

Wrong.  I'm upset because it's inequitable and the School Board had their collective heads up their asses when they approved boundary changes without simultaneously addressing transportation needs.
