[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most kids we know don't want to go to a school without sports and its literally the deciding factor. They should be opening with freshman/JV sports. [/quote]

I don’t know if you can have freshman and JV VHSL teams without a varsity team. They want to have VHSL sports in the second year but they cannot have any VHSL sports and allow kids to play other ones at a different school. It is all or nothing.[/quote]

What's the issue with just having freshman and JV teams, and no Varsity, for the first year? Very few 9th-10th graders even make Varsity. If kids want to play on Varsity, they could not go to Western. But kids choosing to go should have the option of sports at school.[/quote]

The VHSL has requirements.  You can’t just ignore them. The option for the kids starting at Western is to play VHSL sports at their base schools. It turns Western into more of a specialized program for the first year than a fully functioning high school, but that’s OK with some people. [/quote]

I don't understand the logistics of "play sports at your base school for one year". Are they providing transportation? That would be logistical nightmare.[/quote]

I believe they’ve suggested they’ll run busses from Western to the base schools in the afternoon for activities.

These folks aren’t exactly masters at logistics, as should be clear by now.  Some kids at Western will have regular busses, others may have buses for activities, and some will have no busses at all.  Of course, they don’t want to provide busses for grandfathered kids at other schools facing boundary changes at all.  They don’t put kids or families first, or even second.
