[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way logistically the sports thing will work.

Busing kids from Western after school to multiple different high schools and then back again? Here's just one example: the freshman and JV basketball teams leave right after school on a bus to get to away games on time. There is no give in the schedule to wait for a bus from Western to drive over 1 student to the base school to then get on the basketball bus. I can think of a hundred more logistical problems.

The coaches at base schools will just not take "western" kids to avoid the hassle.[/quote]

HB Woodlawn and Arlington Tech in Arlington don’t have sports teams and the kids can play for Yorktown, W-L, or Wakefield. [/quote]

That's not relevant to FCPS logistics. In pp's example, freshman basketball games are played at 4:30. They have to be there by 4:00. The game might be 45 minutes away. The bus has to leave the base school at 3:15. There is no time to get 2 randoms from Western to say Oakton or Centreville in time to make that away bus.

And are they transporting back after games and practices? That is a LOT of buses and routes for 1-2 kids. What about sports practices and games that aren't right after school, are they providing transportation for those also?[/quote]

But Arlington schools also play Fairfax teams, and Herndon is one of the FCPS schools in the same VHSL district as the three Arlington high schools.

So at least in theory an HB Woodlawn kid whose base school is Wakefield could be playing a freshman basketball game in Herndon at 4:30.  [/quote]

ARL Tech and HB Woodlawn are programs not schools.  Diplomas are from the geographic in boundary HS.  Like if a student gets transport to an academy in FCPS but isn't there full time un like Edison global stem.  ARL Tech gets hub transportation and end time is 10-15 minutes earlier than the comprehensive schools so it's 3 bus routes for those interested in VHSL sports, theatre productions-Wakefield, Washington-Liberty, Yorktown.
