Similarly, Richie Park ES (also West MS / RM HS, but on the same side of 270 along Wootton Parkway within walking distance of Wootton) should rightfully be moved to Wootton HS. That also frees up slots for students closer to Crown on the same side of 270. That makes way more sense than moving College Gardens ES (on the other side of 270) to Crown HS.

? If you look the map, CGES neighborhood is closer to where Crown HS will be than Macgruder or GHS. They'd have to cross 370 to get to GHS, or 270 to get to Crown.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other, but Crown is closer. And since Crown is being built, they aren't going to shit CGES to Macgruder.


Looks like someone working at 850 Hungerford is licking their chops?

? I live in the RPES cluster. CGES is closer to Crown than GHS. That's just fact.


And children might be tempted to cross a very dangerous road known as Interstate 270. The first time a kid tries walking home I hope the person who approved it is arrested for negligence. Part of the reason why parents want proximity is for it to be safe for their children. Something that apparently MCPS has forgotten about?


Ummm... we have overpasses to cross I-270. What do you think, kids are going to run across the highway?


Not to mention that we already have kids who live west of 270 attending RMHS, and I don't think any have died crossing 270.


Exactly. We have a bus
And who knows where that bus will take your kids after MCPS rezones. My guess is Rockville or Gaithersburg high schools. Good luck!

? you mean Rockville HS or RM? Rockville HS is not part of any of the boundary studies. Are parents afraid of their Wootton kids being shipped off aaalll the way over to RM? Or are you thinking the Damascus expansion will include parts of GHS? It can't include Rockville HS. It's way too far.
Not yet. My guess is that they'll combine both of the big studies and then decide to do a districtwide boundary study and redraw everything.


That would be the best outcome for the county. It’s about time that the BOE has the spine to put an end to the segregated schools county-wide
You've got to love progressive word games:

woman - anyone who says they're a woman

racism - when a white person...

segregation - people not living how and where we want them to live.

"At risk" isn't the term I'd use, but areas which are currently bussed to Churchill could potentially be bussed to a different adjacent school.

Then at risk is absolutely the term for those students. Wouldn't that lessen the diversity at Churchill, though?

C'mon - think. Depends on who gets added to Churchill.

I thought the whole above point was Churchill being overcrowded by 100 - 200 students?

A man wearing a wig and a skirt tells you he's a woman and you believe him. But a man who isn't woke and insane tells you he's a Democrat and you don't? This is progressivism in 2023 folks.

And you think I support dictatorship because I stand with 95% of the county who doesn't want to be forced to move it have my kids bused just so white progressives can feel good about themselves?
Come on man. You need to look in a mirror.

Speaking of mirrors, if you're going to call someone stupid, you should ask a friend to proofread your posts so they aren't filled with so many errors.

Seriously. We’ve gone almost 100 years without MCPS students using buses to get to school. No need to start now!

Race-integration busing in the United States (also known simply as busing or integrated busing or by its critics as forced busing) was the practice of assigning and transporting students to schools within or outside their local school districts in an effort to diversify the racial make-up of schools.

It's irrelevant. The boundary policy and BOE priorities are diversity, diversity, proximity, diversity, stability, and then capacity.

Yup. Here’s the policy itself. You won’t see what PP is referring to in there, but trust me, s/he’s right.

You'll see Diversity is first. You'll see that the BOE should "especially strive to make schools more diverse" but they sent encouraged to especially strive to do anything else. You'll also see that the policy now allows kids to be based out of their existing cluster. If you look at the BOE meetings that led to the boundary policy change (all avail on the BOE website), you'll also see a lot of testimony from BOE members advocating for busing. And, finally, progressives really want busing because they think it will alleviate some of their guilt. The BOE is almost all progressive. Harris even fantasized about switching kids' schools every few years so they could dupe parents into supporting all schools. That's typical illiberal thinking. So yes, I am correct.

Are the homes currently in the Whitman and Churchill boundaries safe from being rezoned to a lesser school?? (Homes physically located close to school)

Given the underhanded way the BOE changed the boundary policy back in 2018 (they didn't notify the public like they were supposed to), there is no such thing as "safe." But progressives are smart enough to know that they should try to bus students living that close to a school. That would just look vindictive. Pro-busers are vindictive but they operate best when no one is looking. That's why the ones on them is thread try so hard to convince people that there's no busing coming. They want you to go back to sleep so they can do what they want. That's why they were so furoluous with the neighborhood schools group.

You'll see Diversity is first. You'll see that the BOE should "especially strive to make schools more diverse" but they sent encouraged to especially strive to do anything else. You'll also see that the policy now allows kids to be based out of their existing cluster. If you look at the BOE meetings that led to the boundary policy change (all avail on the BOE website), you'll also see a lot of testimony from BOE members advocating for busing. And, finally, progressives really want busing because they think it will alleviate some of their guilt. The BOE is almost all progressive. Harris even fantasized about switching kids' schools every few years so they could dupe parents into supporting all schools. That's typical illiberal thinking. So yes, I am correct.


There have been dozens of boundary changes and studies done in the 5 years since the new policy was passed and none of these things occurred. So when will the pro forced busing sleeper cells on the BOE awaken and bring about the changes you’re highlighting here?
