I think most people don’t know what to do to escalate their concerns. They don’t know the proper channels (I certainly don’t). And frankly, most people are followers. If it hasn’t directly impacted them, they aren’t going to get involved. A grass roots campaign that clearly outlines what parents should do would probably be really helpful. And I think the media would be all over this which could help get the word out.
I think it's this too. When the talk of redistricting started, people rushed to complain to their County Council member. However, MCPS BOE is independent and the Council has no control over them other than to approve or deny their budget.
