[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no forced busing!   If anything there will be some changes in school boundaries in the future.  Same as there has been in past.  And at that time there will be public input. [/quote]

Yes, I know there isn't forced busing, but there's boundary changes that continues to be controversial for people and neighborhoods. Why not just focus on making each school great, provide cool programs in each, and allow people to go to schools they want to go to depending on their interests (providing there's room)? In a lot of ways, DCC has this already, why can't we extend it to the rest of the county? [/quote]

Because when you build new schools, reopen old schools, or greatly expand existing schools, that means there will be boundary changes. It's inevitable. That doesn't mean there will be "forced busing," but yes, some families will be in different schools. There can also be new and appealing programs in these schools, including choice programs, but that doesn't mean boundary changes will go away.[/quote]

+1 For all the time some parents on this forum spend complaining about overcrowding, they don't seem to understand that new schools or expanded schools = new boundaries. [/quote]

When Woodward opens and they implement diversity busing on a large scale there will be screams to high heaven.[/quote]

What are we doing now, MCPS fan fiction?[/quote]

The BOE just put the last piece in place to make this real. It sure seems like it's happening.[/quote]
