[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren't there places where the nearest high school is over four miles away?[/quote]

That is an exception. I meant a general rule. I just do not like busing a long distance as a tool for balancing FARMS.[/quote]

Np I disagree. I don’t think they should let any school get over 15-20% farms.

In my neighborhood there are two elementary schools 1 mile apart. One has only 1m+ sfhs and a few townhouses. The other has 1m homes and then a new apartment complex was built. It’s now 60% farms. I think there would be a massive benefit in balancing the schools. Only the sfhs are within walking distance to both schools. The apartments are already bused from a mile away. [/quote]

What a fantastic example of how out of touch some people on the wealthier side of the county are. “I don’t think they should let any school get over 15-20% FARMS.” And also, we should let them eat cake!

Here in reality, 44% of the students in the county are eligible for FARMS. [/quote]

We are at a high farms school.  We don't care the farms numbers.  What we care about is having access to the same classes and opportunities the other schools have!  The nice thing about farms schools is that there isn't the wealth or competition for how you dress and other things.

If the county is 44% FARMS, they should mandate that every school have 44% FARMs. Instead of having one school be 80% FARM and one be 10%. [/quote][/quote]
