[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just moved to VA from NY and we are currently in a zone where kids are bussed to McKinley but would move to Reed under the current proposal. I’d be fine with pretty much any options because the choices are 1) go to a brand new school or 2) get bussed to any number of other good schools (I guess most likely either staying at McKinley or moving to Glebe, if not Reed). I’d actually prefer bussing with my work schedule. Am I missing something? Why are McKinley parents freaking out when they will either stay at a great school or move to what will surely be another great school? [/quote]

Some of them are going to Ashlawn, which in some people’s minds is not as good an option.

Some have convinced themselves their property values will decrease if they are not walkable to a school.  I doubt anyone has any evidence to prove this.  But I’ve heard people say it.

I’m fine with the move (a current McKinley family) and agree the reaction is kind of puzzling.  The ones who are real head scratchers are the ones who live quite far from McKinley and will nearly certainly go to Reed.[/quote]
