[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^The optics of a luxurious new school building--way nicer than any other fcps school-- being filled almost entirely with wealthy kids is not their vibe.[/quote]

School board members often talk the talk, but then don’t follow through in the end. It appears MCPS will end up with new hs boundaries that worsen the socioeconomic divide, over options that balance demographics. Similarly, past boundary moves in APS have worsened the demographic have and have nots. Alexandria’s redistricting will likely increase wealthy students at an already wealthy elementary school. FCPS’ own history here has also typically moved wealthy neighborhoods into adjacent wealthier schools—with the notable exception of the South Lakes a number of years ago.  [/quote]

Democrats’ default position needs to be keeping as many UMC kids/families in the public school system. These other school boards that didn’t upset the apple cart in the name of equity are to be lauded for not attacking UMC households with an equity-based thought exercise experiment that can’t be reversed.

Good for them, let’s hope our sb likewise understands that equity-based moves play into its opponents’ hands.
