[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Severna park was in phase 1. There was not much pushback in that phase.

Crofton IS in phase 2 and the residents there are actually fighting the redistricting to try to KEEP the poorest/most diverse kids in the Crofton feeder (Nantucket elementary.)  The redistricting as proposed has not at all been about diversifying school populations, which you seem to suggest.  In the case of Crofton it would have effectively reduced the FARMS rate at CHS and made it whiter.  [/quote]

That's not what's happening. The sliver of Nantucket that would move to Arundel Middle/High is the wealthiest portion of the Nantucket neighborhood. It is a small group of relatively rich, white Nantucket parents fighting being redistricted to a less white school.

Were you around for the "Option Four" debacle? [/quote]

The idea of splitting out a small portion of an elementary school and sending the kids to a different middle and high school than the rest of their peers is honestly bonkers. Most redistricting keeps all the kids in one elementary school together for middle school, then all the kids who go to that middle school go to the same high school. [/quote]

This group of parents submitted their own maps to the district, lobbying the county to kick other children out of their elementary schools so their own kids wouldn’t be affected. No sympathy from me![/quote]
