Ingraham is not a walkable distance and the school district would incur additional transportation expense for her to go to any other high school in the school district. Attending a high school within walking distance made it easier for her to participate in many before and after school activities which may otherwise have chosen not to attend if it meant finding a ride to and from school.

My child can walk to Ballard High. If people want to commute to this school fine, but the residents should have 1st choice. It is just logical. I don't want m son to spend any unnecessary time commuting to a distant school. It is hard enough to be a student without adding the stress of hours of commuting. It's been our family's school for years. Keep it simple.

Magnolia has never had a high school and Queen Anne has not had one for more than 20 years. Residents choosing to live there with kids have known that all along. Ballard families should not be punished for their choice. Nor should the Ballard community be divided. Instead, bus Magnolia and Queen Anne to Franklin, as they did in the 80's.
