Yah, goal is to have all schools perfrom similar. I susopect bussing will be huge part of this plan by distributing all kids in different schools. It won't help any kid but it will look good on paper when reviewing school's disparity.

I am convinced that BOE will do all they can to distribute FARMS. Some variation of option 3 is going to be boundary. No other option will match with that they sare saying in their strategic plan for 2026-2030.

Show me the money

They’ll just demand and get more money to waste.

They just got rejected for their full budget so I don’t see them spending more on busing for “demographics.”

Redistributing farms is not a good idea as they lose funding and kids will still self segregate.

Which schools specifically receive extra funding because of their FARMS rates?

If it is over 50% FARMS that makes it a Title I school leading to greater funding. I think Wheaton was like 57% FARMS….but that was a while ago.

This is why Trump won.

This is dated but has farms rates by schools.

There are no Title I high schools in MCPS.

My mistake. It isn’t 50% it is like 42%.

Thank you. I wonder why the percentages don’t apply to the high schools.

Is 2 the utilization option? I think they will go for that with some tweaks.

Agreed and it is so depressing because he is doing so much damage.

Also WJ isn’t all white not that you care about facts.

So some folks are falsely stating that segregation is in low income kids' best interest because they get more funding that way, except they don't. DCUM, never change.

Trump is trying to help low income families. Yes, even brown families.

Well this is overall false. Schools losing title 1 status do lose funding and title I status is based on high farms rates. Why McPS doesn’t allocate any farms money to high schools despite high farms rates is…well no one seems to know.

I don't have kids in school and planning to downsize. Losing 100-200K is huge for me. I suspect that will happen with 30% FARMS.
40-50% FARMS will actually result in a bigger drop and I won't have any equity left for retirement.

Your house is not a good retirement plan. It’s not going to impact things.

Its a big chunk of my net worth and I was going to downsize soon. It was surely a big part of my retiurement plan.

You purchased an asset that can go up and down in value. Grow up and stop trying to influence school policies so you can benefit from a property value that is rooted in segregation.

I don't think anyone should criticize seniors for taking action which will help them. It not segregation right now. You can be black, brown, white, yellow or whatever and you can buy wherever you want.
