[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Busing already happens in MoCo schools. I live in the DCC-- zoned to Einstein in Kensington. Kids are bused all over the DCC for High School. Kids who live in town of Kensington (less than a mile to Einstein and Newport Mill MS) are bused to WJ and NBMS. Until the past two years, kids were bused from Silver Spring over to Westland MS and they are still bused to BCC HS. Busing is absolutely going on (and has been going on for years). Now they are looking at redrawing boundary lines again. I think it is a good thing.[/quote] Historically, busing as an integration strategy means sending poor and/or minority kids outside of their assigned in-boundary school. So, I would argue what you describe is not busing. What you describe is a form of gerrymandering boundary lines to change the demographics of a school. [/quote]
