[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is against a boundary change based on geographic reasons.  Why would you live in MoCo if you are a racist?  Plenty of places to live if you only want to be with your own. What people are annoyed by is putting diversity as the number one priority - which the board did without public comment.

Then the Board hires a [b]company that only has done diversity realignments - not boundary studies based on geography.  [/b]

Then - even though you can buy a house anywhere in the county the extreme liberals say it is segregated (although county does nothing about actually changing this at a housing policy level). So rational folks from all backgrounds are seeing this for what it is - pols in a one party state trying to get a promotion by motivating their base.  Nothing more.  Finally squishy evidence that having a bright kid sit next to a new immigrant helps the new immigrant at all.[/quote]
I believe they have done both (Boston).  And this is why, again, people need to just shut up and *listen* to the *information* that is being presented, then make judgement calls, not jump to conclusions without *listening* first.

[quote][b]The consultants will not recommend any specific boundary changes[/b].....

Instead, they will provide a synopsis of how MCPS schools are used, their socioeconomic composition and community members’ thoughts about the project. Data will be compared to similarly sized school districts across the country.
