[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my understanding, busing brings kids out of boundary. If the boundaries are changed, it’s not busing. Now, maybe you really mean: Does it make a difference to integrate schools racially and socioeconomically? Yes, it can. But not because black and brown children are magically elevated by the mere presence of white and Asian peers. In our district, there’s been documented inequities in who has access to rigorous courses and other opportunities. MCPS has hidden this as an issue of high FARMs clusters being overloaded. Let’s break up the high FARMs clusters. [/quote] DP - currently reading this book to see what it has to say. And agree -- I don't think MCPS is talking about busing. They are talking about tweaking boundaries. https://www.amazon.com/Children-Dream-School-Integration-Works/dp/1541672704[/quote]
