The district is too big. Nothing will satisfy all. Time to tear down MCPS into smaller districts. Or give principals more power to act independently.[/quote]

Also, the moon is not bright enough. Time to make the moon brighter. Brighter moon now![/quote]

You’re not very bright are you?

The fact that MCPS is too large is something that can be fixed.  [b]It is possible to break MCPS up into smaller, more manageable districts.  [/b]

It is not possible to brighten the moon.

See the difference?

Just because you don’t want MCPS to break up and be more efficient, doesn’t mean it can’t be done.  [/quote]

Please lay out the necessary steps for us, with specific references to the applicable laws.

DP.  [b]I don’t know the specific answers to your question.[/b]  But do you really believe that there would be no mechanism to do this?[/quote]

That would be a good thing to find out, [u]before[/u] saying that it's possible.[/quote]

No, I don't.  First, I didn't say it was possible.  But, I do believe it would be.

How about you explain why you believe that the current district boundaries are set in stone and could never be changed?

It is possible it would require some state action.  It almost certainly would require county action.  But it is almost inconceivable that there wouldn't be some way to change boundaries, at least in theory. To have boundaries be forever immutable would make no sense.  And even if that were the current law, that law could be amended.  Even if it were based on the state constitution, the constitution could be amended.

Montgomery County may have the power to decide that, within the county, it makes more sense to operate two separate school districts.  If school district's have to be based on the county, there presumably would be a mechanism that enable a county to split in two.

None of this will actually happen.  But there is almost certainly a mechanism by which it could.[/quote]
