[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]actually the bus numbers for the blended diversity option are better than the bus numbers now.  The 'turning walkers into bus riders' line is just false.  Kenmore and Swanson are 2 miles apart.  Those who are south east of Swanson and currently walkers are also mostly within the Kenmore walk zone.   
I really think moving the immersion program to Kenmore is a good idea.  It would make the busing situation easier b/c it is a shorter ride to Kenmore for the vast majority of the county then to Gunston (where it is currently).  It would pull involved parents into Kenmore- thereby increasing PTA funds, etc.  
It would make it easier for the large hispanic population near Kenmore to participate in immersion- and there is a lot of research to demonstrate the academic benefits of learning part of the day in your first language.  [/quote]

Do you have actual numbers on the busing stuff, or are you just spitballing based on the maps? I'd be interested in the busing data, which someone upthread asked about some days ago.

To me, Kenmore doesn't seem any more convenient than Gunston because it's SO far west. At least Gunston is to the east, on the assumption that most people are heading east to get into the city for commuting purposes. You're probably right about it being a shorter ride to Kenmore though, from a N/S perspective.[/quote]
