[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So question.  There is no guarantee when you buy a property that boundaries will not change.  I’m def against busing. That makes no sense.   But boundary changes have always been on the realm of possibilities.   With this school board and past ones.  Sometimes it is necessary based on numbers.  What is the argument against it besides property values? Bc honestly maintaining property values should not be the priority for the school system.  [/quote]

Physical proximty to the school should be a tremendous priority, because

A) Bus driver shortages.  When they are running double routes, sitting high school kids 3 to a seat, rearranging routes so kids spend an hour going less than 10 miloes, and starting routes at 6:15 AM, then there should be no rezoning that drives kids away from their closest school or jumps neighborhoods over other neighborhoods innthe name of equity.

B) Environmental concerns.  More miles in the busses means more polilution and waste of resources.  If the fcps school board is serious about green energy, they should not rezone a single student to take a longer bus ride than absolutely necessary

C)  Commute, commute, commute.  Traffic in this area is atrocious.  Time wasted in traffic is time that takes away from learning.  Busses on the main roads slows down traffic for those getting to and from work.  The number one priority of rez9ning should be minimizing traffic and commutes, NOT equity.[/quote]
