[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm my elementary school's delegate to the county PTA.  The big issue every other year is the Capital Improvement Plan.  So last year's discussion was full of which school's they're going to add to/which new schools are being built.  The question always comes around to redistricting when they talk about overcrowding.

Know that redistricting is political dynamite (especially on the border of Bethesda and Silver Spring and the border of Potomac and Gaithersburg).  It has happened but it's really rare and if it were to happen, there would be a LOT of build up to it.

If you're asking about a kid who is alive already, you don't have to worry about ending up in a different school than the MCPS school locators says you're in now.[/quote]

+ 1000 - I have participated in a Boundary Study which recommended redistricting.  The Boundary Study group were parents that then gave a recommendation to the Superintendent.  No one wants to upset the apple cart.  Boundary adjustments are rare and tend to be as limited as possible.  We focused on changing elementary school boundaries to alleviate overcrowding but avoided any changes in middle school and high school assignments.  Current students and their siblings were grandfathered in so they could opt out of the change in school if they chose.

In general, you child will get the same educational opportunities no matter which school your child goes to.  Reputations are often fictional and the choice schools have their issues that just aren't as advertised as some of the lesser income schools.[/quote]
