A very easy solution is to move any new developments to the under crowded schools.  If they want to continue building more and more without new schools, then just send the new developments to the districts with the lowest capacity.  If they are already moving kids all over, just move the kids that don't have roots yet.  [/quote]

So much for the "keep communities together" and "no long bus trips" arguments.[/quote]

It is going to be done anyway.  It already has in MCPS. Boundaries are sprinkles all over. Not one big circle.  Many kids, even ES kids have long bus routes.  I know Fallsgrove going to Ritchie Park does.  Rio area in Gaithersburg going to Fallsmead does. And it will be worse once this boundary assessment is done.

And tons of kids are already bused for better opportunities in Magnet and IB.  None of them seem to give a crap abut being together.  The communities that want to stay together are the ones that grew up together.  New communities are brand new.  It is less traumatic to move them a bit further than chopping up existing neighborhoods. [/quote]
