[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Board member Judy Docca said she felt the board did consider student demographics more heavily than in the past, in accordance with the policy.[/quote]

From a recent Bethesda article ( https://bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-beat/schools/upcounty-boundary-changes-are-first-test-of-policy-emphasizing-student-diversity/) about the SV/Clarksburg situation that I googled quickly. There are plenty of other statements surrounding race and demographics in both the addition of diversity as a factor in rezoning and the county wide boundary study. Just do some googling or watch/read through BOE meetings.

[b]MCPS still gathers diversity profiles for school assignment areas/schools and tracks changes.[/b] Race and sorting by race is a core part of MCPS data collection and analysis.

In the 90s it lost a case (referenced in the Metis report) for using this data to make COSA decisions to ensure that COSA assignments did not move away from their racial goals. I would assume that MCPS is no longer using this data for COSA but the policy establishing back in the 90s it is still on their website . https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/policy/pdf/acdea.pdf.

Federal law requires this.[/quote]
