Thanks, PP. I agree there is some language in here that seems to suggest no widespread busing -- "a focus on adjacency"; "clusters adjacent to one another....can have significantly different levels of utilization and student diversity"; and "will continue to maximize walkers". But we live in the Washington area. I think we can all recognize an answer that seems to answer a question, but actually doesn't. There's enough wiggle room in that long paragraph to allow for some pretty significant busing if the BOE wants to do that, for diversity reasons or facilities use, etc. [b]If school district officials really are not interested in busing kids very long distances (i.e., more than just to and from schools in what currently are adjacent clusters), they should come out and say so directly and definitively. [/b]That would be welcome, and helpful. [/quote]

PP, they have been. You just couldn't hear it over all of the hollering about "FORCED BUSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111"[/quote]

Forced bussing is just a figment of the reactionary rights imagination and used as a scare tactic to fight change. Bottom line is things have changed a lot in the 40 years since these boundaries were updated. They need to be reviewed.[/quote]
