Why is that so difficult to understand? You may not agree, but why is it impossible to understand that we LIKE our economically and ethnically diverse community and want to preserve it.

We have always been split with the MSMC so it is exciting to see the possibility of remaining together at one middle school, Loiederman, that many VM families already attend because it is the closest. Losing Wheaton as a home school is a bummer, but if changes must be made, it's understandable. There's a huge difference in moving to a newly created community and being shoved into an existing one.

You will be showed into Tilden community or NBMS community. NBMS community is happy that under the current proposal it won't be them. And Tilden community is trying to change that since there is another high FARMs ES school in play. It is true, very few non-VM posters here care about your needs.

But what unique needs do you have in mind? Other than wanting that everybody around you is also Hispanic. It seems that you are very happy with the current status, despite the fact that you have been one of the worst performing schools in the county and dropping. Is that what you want to preserve? If this was a great school as you portray it, other communities would be fighting over you and not trying to drop you like a hot potato.

After putting VM in WJ, WJ will have 20-25% hispanic there. It's pretty good number for anyone worrying about lack of Hispanic in WJ.

Not as good as it would be outnumbering the whites at new Woodward. I hope they keep us in Woodward with WW. Then you Farmland people can embrace our culture.

Right on! This isn't about Farmland/Luxmanor being "uncomfortable" with 35.7% FARMS. It is really about them being uncomfortable with 38.7% Hispanic. They use FARMS to hide behind what they really feel. Those 27.1% white all of a sudden fear being in the minority. Welcome to our world.

This is silly to say. Of course it is about FARMS. How do you think wealthy white people would react to higher FARMS that is still majority white? You’d see similar concerns about property value, safety etc.

The truth is silly? I can't wait to see you at the first Woodward PTA meeting in a couple years. I'll bring you some of my abuela's famous empanadas. 38.7% of us will have a voice for our concerns to be heard ove your 27.1%. get used to it and check your white privilege at the door

great, you can see yourself out of the conversation since this has no impact on you.

sounds like this is what farmland and luxmanor are doing. they should have taken a position years ago that was "we don't want VM and WW" too little too late

Tell us your concerns now so we can prepare ourselves. I hope it is something about learning and getting kids educated.

You do sound stupid. But it is clear you are not a VM poster but that obnoxious WJ property value booster with no VM connections other than how to keep them out.

And you're the same Farmland person who states all VM and WW families on this message board that we are not real. Get over yourself Farmland. Sorry you don't like our views.

Many are real. Not you, though. And I am sure real Hispanics on this thread are not amused by you making a parody of their culture.

They are the families that should be asking questions about building utilization and demographics of their building, not Farmland/Luxmanor families.

I personally don't think boundary should be decided based on voting by all communities. BOE job is to make decision what's best over all by keeping negative and positive in mind. I can clearyl see positive in balancing FARMS and I see no negative in doing it when schools are less than than miles away. Now I may be missing something so stakeholders should present negative and positive both. Goal should be to get the best possible boundary keeping FAA policies in mind.

Fantastic post here. Bold part should be the goal for BOE, everything else is noise.
