[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on Superintendent and SB it is not to late to put some lipstick on this pig of a boundary study.  Make it about reasonable metrics and stop the arguing.

All students within a 1.5 mile radius of the school (walkers) are assigned to that school.

Since travel times are asymmetrical set a time rather than mile radius for buses.  So no more than 25 minutes on average for the bus.

See what those variables get you in terms of boundaries.

Let the arguments be over fact/math based decisions, and not be swayed by the mom group with the best slogan, or website.  [/quote]

They did that and Oak Hill is not happy because the school is being split so that the walkers to Franklin are being sent to franklin and Chantilly and not Carson and Skyview.

I would agree that you start by looking who is closest to the school but then you need to add in not splitting ES between MS and HS. Eventually you do get to situations where there are homes that are further away from multiple schools and you need to assign them somewhere. The population density in this area is enough that most kids could attend multiple schools pretty easily and be within a 5 miles of home.[/quote]
