Chose option 1, which still leaves Bethesda ES overutilized within two years and divided up East Bethesda which I know was a big concern. Notice too the discussion of the county wide analysis here and how they may approach boundary studies in the future.

We’re in Somerset zone and happy with this as it will significantly reduce school size, but curious what other folks think….[/quote]

I'm in Somerset and bummed as it will reduce diversity. (After redistricting, percentage of students who are white will rise, percentage who are ESOL will fall, and percentage who are FARMS eligible will fall even more.) I don't see see that she had a better solution, though. Real problem here is residential segregation, and I'm the fool who bought into an overwhelmingly white neighborhood; if I had to do it again I'd move somewhere very different, where my (white) kids wouldn't be surrounded by other privileged white kids.

I can't possibly believe you didn't know Somerset was overwhelmingly white and incredibly wealthy when you purchased your home. You sound ridiculous. I say that as someone who lives in a nearby neighborhood that's part of this study as well.[/quote]

She’s a typical liberal hypocrite. But she’s got all the diversity signs on her front lawn. Lol. [/quote]
