[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"We need to change the Oakton boundaries. The bus ride is too long from Franklin Farms to Oakton and it's costing too much money!" We need to send them to KAA!

But KAA isn't going to join the VHSL in the foreseeable future. What about all the athletes? "Simple, we'll bus them from KAA to Oakton every day after school for their practices!"

Brilliant.

I’d be surprised if any kid actually wanted to do that. If they’re going to let kids choose for the first couple of years then it seems that the kids who want to do sports would just attend the original school. I don’t know how long it takes to get VHSL status or whatever, but boundaries should be locked in once that happens.

I have a lot less sympathy for people with say a fourth grader who are just worried that the new high school’s sports teams won’t be as good as their old school’s teams in five years. First off it’s a little nuts to be planning for high school sports at that age and second that is asking for a level of catering that goes beyond what a public school can and should offer. [/quote]
