Thanks. Man, Montoya's answer sure shows that she is a lawyer, doesn't it?

Betweeen Montoya and Harris, who is the preferred candidate if you'd like to see high school and middle school boundaries changed as little as possible? I support redistricting to deal with overcrowding, but not to achieve some big realignment in FARMS and demographic distribution in the name of equity (as that would be more likely to lead to busing). The priority should be geographic proximity to a school, when possible.

The BOE's policy is to balance the four factors (demographics, geography, stability, and facility utilization).

Currently, there are both overcrowded schools and underutilized schools. Many students do not attend the school closest to them. The example often given is that many students in Kensington reside very close to Einstein HS, but are zoned for Walter Johnson HS.

With a new high school (Woodward) in Bethesda as well as the new Crown HS there will be more capacity in the west side of the county. Many schools on the east side are horribly overcrowded. If you want to maximize available capacity with the new high schools you have to move some kids from east to west (I'm thinking like Einstein to BCC, Wheaton to Woodward) and make a lot of changes that are going to upset a lot of people. To deal with overcrowding there will be demographic changes. That's just the reality.

This is the right idea but Einstein is overflowing and has portables. So, it wouldn’t work. I suspect they will move the Kensington kids to Woodward but that’s about it. Wheaton to Woodard would be a nightmare. They should pull from mid county for Woodward and build mother high school down county. Once they pull from WJ and with the new building in the area Woodward will not have a huge amount of extra seats.

You are hilarious. That is not going to happen and you know it. But thank you for sharing how you want East county kids to stay in overcrowded schools while West county kids stretch out in two new high schools

What is wrong with you???
Diaz did no show up for work any one else would be fired. This is not about masks you idiot.
She is a RW moms4liberty pos and I’m tired of this stupidity.

Diaz brings nothing to the BOE she’s hateful and can not answer one question at all.

Her curriculum ideas are on Twitter they change daily depending on which nonsensical shit she’s spewing. Or she loves the Heritage foundation curriculum ask Frederick county how that worked for their failed charter school.

She didn’t respect students or staff at Gaithersburg any other job world have fired her butt.

Now forums have you heard her answers??? No you have not because your listening ears are closed you are an idiot. Woo hoo polio for all children in MCPS this is not about masks you dummy. She supports libs4tiktok that is pure garbage propaganda hate!!!!

Absolutely grateful she sucked as a teacher and as a human

Brenda Diaz is the Moms4liberty candidate
And worse she supports RFK Jr tin just stupidity.

She supports hate and discrimination and for gods sake can not speak without deflection bec she thinks MCPS parents are dumb. Her talking points are straight out of the moms4liberty playbook and she’s just amazing how we now have to defend against lawsuits bec of her buddy Stephen Miller the Nazi.

See if voters had been smart during the primaries they would have voted for Smondrowski to stay on. She could just sit there and keep doing nothing but at least we wouldn't have the issue of choosing between the union puppet and the Trumper. The teacher will be by far the lesser of two evils.

Thanks. Man, Montoya's answer sure shows that she is a lawyer, doesn't it?

Betweeen Montoya and Harris, who is the preferred candidate if you'd like to see high school and middle school boundaries changed as little as possible? I support redistricting to deal with overcrowding, but not to achieve some big realignment in FARMS and demographic distribution in the name of equity (as that would be more likely to lead to busing). The priority should be geographic proximity to a school, when possible.

Harris. I know people are anti-incumbent but Lynne is the only one who has been a teacher recently. She's also a lawyer and a nurse and is the only BOE member I see posting about being involved with student activities. She always asks the good questions at board meetings and will often vote on her own rather than just voting to go along. She's smart and a kind person from what I have seen. She deserves a second term. Not Shebra though.

Yes, people were very short-sighted in voting for Diaz in the primary.

+1. Harris is the right choice. Montoya would be lost I the woods on the BOE.

Nonsense. We have a budget shortfall- guess who runs the budget committee - Lynn. We have a EV bus debavke, guess who was the biggest cheerleader for that - Lynn. The Beidielmen scandal is a stain on MCPS, guess who enthusiastically voted for his appointment- Lynn. Guess who believes that Muslim students who hold sincere religious belief are just parroting dogma- Lynn.
