[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably unworkable in MCPS give all the complaints from W school parents. But at least FCPS is doing something about inequality in its schools. Maybe MCPS should consider doing the same. From today's [i]Washington Post[/i] http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/garza-to-announce-shake-up-in-fairfax-schools-administration/2014/05/16/6f7e6e8c-dcc3-11e3-8009-71de85b9c527_story.html# [/quote]

I don't really see how this is addressing inequality in Fairfax schools.  It is an administrative reorganization that may save a bit of money, but it's not going to affect schools in any way that would be particularly meaningful or noticeable to parents or students.  [/quote]

Read on. The idea is to have a more equal distribution of resources and help eliminate "pockets of excellence". It would separate Langley and McLean into different clusters so the wealthy areas are not packed together. In the end, if done right, this could affect schools in a meaningful way by ensuring a better distribution of resources. [/quote]

Unless you move the kids, these "pockets of excellence" will remain exactly where they are.  It's not like these schools have more resource.[/quote]
