Comments on: Broadhurst coming? http://sammamishreview.com/2009/02/02/broadhurst-coming The Sammamish Review Fri, 25 May 2012 16:08:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Myles Kahn http://sammamishreview.com/2009/02/02/broadhurst-coming/comment-page-1#comment-2837 Myles Kahn Thu, 05 Feb 2009 19:02:41 +0000 http://sammamishreview.com/?p=4412#comment-2837 The few people who spoke against the change in districts used a scare tactic which is unfounded and no a factor to be properly considered under the State guidelines governing such petitions. Broadhurst's case is compelling. The facts were not refuted because the cant be. EVERY high school in the Lake Washington District is closer than the closest high school in SVSD. 6 elementary school;s are closer than the closest in SVSD. Also compelling is the fact that LWSD buses go through Broadhurst multiple times a day to pick up children in Canyon Creek which is part of LWSD thereby passing the Boradhusrt children on the street who are waiting for the SVSD buses to take them a significantly longer distance. Going through Broadhurst is the only ingress and egress to Canyon Creek. The district boundaries were drawn in 1944 before either neighborhood or much of the Ames Lake corridor was developed. The helalth and welfar of the children should be the primary concern. That is the impetus for the petition.
