Similarly, the socialist themes are equally offensive and make the likelihood of something like option 1 go up.

I don’t think it will be any of them and it’s to create drama to distract from all the other stuff going on. Instead of arguing people should get together for more reasonable boundaries. Having hs kids have long bus rides with activities, homework, child care for siblings, activities and more is unreasonable. More unreasonably is when kids have to return to school or stay for late activities meaning kids could be at school for 12+ hours a day.

But apparently you can say “f** you” to those kids with longer bus rides if they are white.

I saw very, very few people on this thread actually endorse this.

Oh come on. If we call them UMC is that better?

I have seen very few people actually endorse Option 3.

You haven’t been reading this thread then, where if you don’t accept option 3 you are racist.

Then, don’t assume we are less wealthy. We don’t want to stretch and want to not worry about things like college. Stretching is a bad idea.

+1 if you are not wealthy but still stretched to buy a $1.5 million home, that was a bad financial decision. Don't expect the government to prop up your property value. You have a home. A place to live. Hopefully you can afford the mortgage so you can stay in your home. If you can't, that's on you.

Well declining property values are something that school funders should care about if they care about kids.

Property values are something that any BOE member should care about.

Good schools are good schools because of the people that buy homes in the school. If you put all of Kennedy at Whitman and all of Whitman at Kennedy then Kennedy would be the highest performing school.

Making our best schools worse than they are doesn't do anything good for the county. All it does is drive away the people that prioritize schools.

Or at least the county council.

How about Option 4 but send all of Viers Mill elementary to WJ and all of Garrett Park Elementary to Woodward (instead of that portion going to WJ)? Seems like that would mitigate the overcrowding at Wheaton with oversubscribing WJ and also makes the FARMs levels a little more comparable between WJ and Woodward. All without bussing kids long distances.

No. If some people's property values go down, others will go up. It's all the same to the Council. Sorry the government won't prop up your wealth.

You’d think they would interact, no?

It is not government propping up property values. It is taking by government.

We chose our DCC school very intentionally. It was what we could afford without overextending ourselves. We love the school our child attends.
