[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I picked our location so our kids could walk to school all the way through high school. I have no intention of giving my teen a car or wasting time on lengthy bus rides.

My kids have had friends now since K and it would be awful if they were switched to a different school. It would be so much better for our commute and financial appreciation to move over to VA but I wouldn't want to take the kids away from their community and friends.

There is no upside to any parent or student in long bussing initiatives. It would be disruptive and it wouldn't even last. MCPS is gunho on making this about racial assignments which isn't legal. Once they put something in place it will eventually be struck down anyway. It will waste tons of money an disrupt kids for no gain in the end. [/quote]

Again, the proposal is not calling for "long bussing initiatives." In fact, it specifically mentions all four factors, including geography:

Resolved, That the consultant present the findings and options to the Board of Education and the superintendent of schools with all deliberate speed, no later than June 4, 2019, and that the findings and options [i]explore potential modifications to current school boundaries that comport to the four factors in Policy FAA, Educational  Facilities  Planning:  student demographics, geography, stability of assignments over time, and facility utilization[/i]; [/quote]
