[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't believe anything is "safe" at this point. My kid rides a bus to a middle school where there is not a single walker. All the kids in the same neighborhood, even those across the street or on the same block as the middle school take a bus to another middle school that is 10 minutes away. [/quote]

That's a school without a walk zone. But if your school has a walk zone (which almost all of them do), and you live within that walk zone, then you will be "safe" to remain a walker.[/quote]

LOL nothing is safe. Our school has homes right next to it. They all go to another school because of racial balancing. No house is in a safe zone.[/quote]

Because they're not in the walk zone. Why is this so hard to understand? [/quote]

It may help to look at a boundary study map. Here are some from the last completed study:

You can see that each school zone has been further divided into numbered zones. The zones labeled W1, L1, and G1 are the MCPS-designated "walk zones." These zones ending with 1 were excluded from the reassignment options so those students could remain walkers. Zones with numbers other than 1 were eligible to be included in the reassignment options, because those neighborhoods were already getting bus service. (There was no zone C1 because Clarksburg ES has no walk zone.)

The exception to this would be where you have two schools located so close to each other that their walk zones overlap. In this case, students in the overlapping area could possibly be reassigned from one school to the other, but would still remain walkers.[/quote]
