[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] PP here.. I was part of that study. An ES aged student going a few miles further away is a lot different than a HS student going 5 miles away to HS. There is a neighborhood in Gaithersburg that is zoned for Gaithersburg HS even though there is a HS much much closer. It's 20 min, almost 6 miles. TB area is about 5 miles from Churchill [b]MCPS does this all the time.[/b][/quote] If you were part of that study, then you know the optics of desegregating economically-segregated schools by putting the travel burden on the poor kids (and on families who don't own cars). They're not good.[/quote] OK, sure, then send some Churchill students to RM. Better? But no... there are currently poor neighborhoods that do have to travel. Gaithersburg HS is a just an example. The reason TB ES wasn't split up was also due to the loss of Title 1 funding for that school. Neither RM nor Churchill have Title 1 funding.[/quote]
