[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While it is true that we would like to keep younger kids from long bus rides, the more pertinent thing is school start time.  There isn't nearly as much traffic on Jermantown Road crossing 123 to get to Oakton HS for an early start time.  But for Mosby Wood's 8:15 start time, it can and will take 25-30 minutes to cross 123 (I know-- I do it every morning).  Add to that the time it takes to pick up all the kids in the Waples Mill area, and you are looking at a 1-hour bus ride for many.  [/quote]

That's true, the factor of buses stopping to drop off and pick up makes the time longer than what you would think from simply mapblasting the time door to door. Kids would have to board the school bus extremely early to make it to Mosby Woods by 8:15, with not just the bus stops but also the traffic at that time. Okay, maybe it is seeming that Waples Mill should not come to Mosby Woods, and there is a good reason for protests by Waples Mill parents. It is looking like parts of Oakton ES base are also too far away to come to Mosby Woods, if you look at a boundary overview map. Of the schools currently coming to Mosby Woods, Providence, Daniel's Run, and Marshall Road seem close but Fairfax Villa seems farther away.

New suggestion: Keep Providence, Daniel's Run, and Marshall Road at Mosby Woods, but send all of Fairfax Villa (currently split?) to Willow Springs. In exchange for Fairfax Villa, send closest parts of Oakton ES base to Mosby Woods. Thoughts?[/quote]
