report cover Why Johnny Can't Walk to School

A report released in 2000 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. According to National Trust President Richard Moe, "When the school anchors a neighborhood, both the students and residents benefit. The trend of building shopping mall sized schools outside town alienates students, encourages sprawl, and impairs our send of community. We can serve our students better by revitalizing our historic neighborhood schools. It's responsible, thoughtful, and fiscally sound."
