[quote=Anonymous]The school is fine, no concerns. It's a great area to live in and very family friendly.

Don't listen to the previous poster. Howard County is divided due to redistricting that occured last year, moving kids to various other schools. It was necessary  to balance population size and overcrowding. It caused a great upheaval.  The board members who supported it were literally vilfied online,  it continues today. New board members were elected this past Nov who were not the darlings of this group,  so now they all are being vilified, now mostly because this general group wants the schools to open. It's turned into a "Open HoCo" agenda.

Just ignore the noise as most of us have. They are loud, obnoxious, and embarrassing as anyone can imagine,  but there's nothing ever useful offered,  and it's really a very small segment of people.

That being said,  this pandemic  has been hard on everyone,  and isn't likely to bring out the  best in various people, but you should know it has brought  out the very best in most. There's been amazing outreach to everyone, with several grassroot groups developed to make sure there's resources ( food, clothes)  for everyone. One group in particular,  Columbia Community Care, is 7k members strong. Anyone would  be very impressed, there's so much comraderie.There are many other groups,  and parents have joined together to support the current DL program until such time everyone is back in buildings.  It's all tough, but there are very, very strong  communities here.

Howard  County is a great place to live, the schools are great, the neighborhoods are great, and most of the people, too! [/quote]
