[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, when you all disparage busing, why is it OK to have all of these Williamsburg and what used to the Yorktown islands? Those kids were bused. Why isn't it acceptable to have islands in other parts of town? Like an island around the western end of Columbia Pike? The low income community is large enough to provide a substantial cohort to Williamsburg so no one would feel isolated. Kids south of the Pike are bused all the way to Gunston, so Willimasburg probably isn't any further.[/quote]
PPs here. Sounds like a great idea to me. Just keep a mile walking perimeter around schools and bus in whoever. How hard is it to understand that some of us want to freaking walk to close by schools. Bus in as many other kids as you want. [/quote]

I agree with this and it's the feedback I provided to the school board.  1-mile walk zone and everything else up for grabs to balance demographics. They've been fine with islands in the past so I don't know why contiguity now needs to be a top priority other than placating whiners.  And we are not <1 mile to any school so I know that means my N. Arlington neighborhood could go anywhere and I don't have a problem with that.[/quote]
