[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a good idea.  Some clusters are way over crowded while others are under utilized.  If they divide the county into four parts, the rezoning would be easier.  HoCo rezones every few years.  Yes, HoCo is smaller than MCPS, which is why I stated that MCPS should divide the county into four parts for rezoning purposes.  Smaller scale, easier to rezone.

As for racial balancing.. I don't think it's about race as much as about FARMS/ESOL rate, and I think it's fine to balance out clusters for this purpose.

I live in the RM cluster and was involved in the rezoning when Rustin was opening. I know the fight will get ugly like it did for Rustin. But, this is one school district, and no one has the right to go to any one specific school.  I don't think the BOE will accept busing from one side of the county to another. It's neighboring clusters that they will be looking at, not cross county clusters.

Having stated this, however, I do think they should also have some common sense when it comes to rezoning.   Two of the options in the Rustin rezoning made zero sense.  This is what I would be concerned about, that they throw up ridiculous options just to make the FARMs numbers look more even.[/quote]

Given the diamond shape of the county would be perfect.

One southern close in zone let's call that the new DCC
Two middle zones that are split east/west the new MCCE & MCCW
One northern zone let's call that AGCC

Also love the idea of many W kids being part of the new DCC. :D
