[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As we eagerly await the proposed boundaries for the three schools, I am interested in what you all 'hope' to see, boundary-wise.

What do you hope the new boundaries will look like? What about the student bodies at all 3 schools?[/quote]

What I hope isn't the same as what will happen of course. But in my opinion, Clarksburg kids should go to Clarksburg High. Germantown kids should go to Seneca Valley and Northwest. Those 2 schools serve Germantown.   When Clarksburg was built, years ago, they decided to take some of the neighborhoods previously zoned for SVHS  to Clarksburg to address overcrowding. Now that SVHS is renovating and can handle more students, it only makes sense that Germantown kids are zoned back to SVHS. SVHS from what MCPS is telling us is going to be  a really nice school when it's done so based on that, we should assume that it would serve the community well. [/quote]

As you probably know, what "Germantown kids should go to Germantown high schools" means, historically, is, "We don't want those poor black and Latino kids from Germantown at our school in Clarksburg."[/quote]

[b]There may very well be poor black and Latino kids from Germantown [/b]just as there are other ethnic groups from various SES there. It's not like Germantown is all poor. Note Clarksburg is already pretty diverse. It really doesn't need Germantown to up it's diversity so I don't buy it. BOttom line, Clarksburg HS was meant to serve the Clarksburg community. Seneca Valley was meant to serve the Germantown community. Let's focus on making Seneca Valley a great school, so that people in Germantown would WANT to go to Seneca Valley. [/quote]

The schools aren't meant to serve anyone in any particular location. They are all MCPS schools. They are meant to serve MCPS students.[/quote]
