[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To bring diversity maybe Murch and Key can be re-directed to McFarland so their is a equal mixture. [/quote]

Makes good sense if the primary goal is to increase diversity everywhere and protect entitlement if Shepherd and Bancroft to Deal. Makes no sense if the goal is to support neighborhood schools and minimize transit burden. You'd essentially be transiting the biggest group of WOTP students east, and EOTP students west, which sounds like a silly approach.

On the plus side, zoning Murch and Key to MacFarland would certainly cause a huge jump in MacFarland test scores though, which may cause many EOTP families to want to send their children there. [/quote]

Hello? Murch kids cross the street to get to Deal. This thread has jumped the shark.[/quote]

I'm the PP you responded to.  I agree with you that it would be poor planning to push Murch across the park rather than sending them across the street to Deal.  I think the first poster is just being facetious and specifically trying to propose plans that make life hard for WOTP elementary schools.  But I'm open-minded enough to acknowledge that [b]if[/b] DCPS/DME decides that maximizing diversity and protecting Shepherd/Bancroft is the ultimate goal of school boundaries, then moving Murch across the park is the most obvious solution.

I hope the first poster is similarly open-minded enough to admit that if benefiting Shepherd/Bancroft is [b]not [/b]the ultimate goal of boundary planning, then it makes the most sense for them to shift to MacFarland.[/quote]
