[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know, and I really don't care. What I care about is that my son be able to attend our local schools, not some schools in a different part of the country because of some people's ideas about social engineering. I voted for Austin (close call with Guan) and Solomon.[/quote]

34% of MCPS students, [i]right now[/i], don't attend their closest schools.

Plenty of people who say they support Austin/"neighborhood schools" could get rezoned to schools that are [i]closer,[/i] but they don't want that.

NP. Why do a third of MCPS students not attend the school closest to them?[/quote]

I'm tired of those taking extreme positions on this issue. Lumpoange Thomas seems to have a balanced approach on most issues, which I suppose means she can't possibly win.[/quote]

"34% of MCPS students don't attend their closest schools" is not an extreme position, it's a statement of fact.[/quote]

The study measure each student’s travel distance, regardless community integrity, major road, or Natural barries.  If your whole HOA is assigned to one school but the school is not in the center of you HOA, the far end of the HOA could be closeR to other schools than the one your house is assigned to.   A school across a major road may not be your home school.[/quote]
Then there is this.....

Five separate islands, some requiring close to a 45 min bus ride.
