[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to the PPs for digging through the numbers. I can see why this is going to be such a hot potato.

The big uncertainty seems to be RCF, right? Are there RCF parents here who feel strongly one way or another? I'd be curious what you think.

Also, for the PP who parsed the FARMS numbers, if you really wanted to have some kind of parity in the overall FARMS population distribution, wouldn't you try to pair Somerset or Westbrook with CCES & NCC at the new school? I don't even know where Westbrook is, but Somerset seems almost as close to the new site as Bethesda Elementary? That way the county could get to about 9 and 10 percent FARMs for each of the groups of kids going to either middle school.[/quote]

Westbrook kids can walk to Westland. They are not going anywhere. [/quote]

That may be true but there are a bunch of Pyle kids that can walk to Westland too. I think distance will be considered as a factor but not the factor. As someone whose kid was first bused a few miles east to RHPS and now is bused a few miles west to Westland I can say that busing a couple of miles isnt a big deal. [/quote]
