[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of these schools lack real diversity and need some busing.[/quote]

Busing is a band-aid. I'd rather see MCPS invest in well thought-out programs at specific schools that are attractive and open to students in upcounty/midcounty. [/quote]

You notice how the two HS magnet programs are in opposite corners of the county that's inconvenient for the majority of the county?  There was another thread a few months back about Crown.  The capacity at Crown wasn't even necessary if current boundaries were shifted?

I want to know how many overpaid MCPS Central Office / BOE staff at Hungerford send their kids to College Gardens ES or live in Kings Farm?  Someone on the thread was pushing hard to insist that those areas would 100% certain be part of Crown.[/quote]

That’s funny because the word on the street is that the rest of King Farm will be shifted from RM to Gaithersburg, not exactly a “win”.[/quote]

I think at the end of the day, the BOE will do what they can to ensure that the FARMS rates at all the schools involved won't be excessive. Here are the rates for all schools based on last school year:  
Churchill- 9.7%
Poolesville- 10.8%
Wootton- 11.9%
RM- 30.5%
Damascus- 30.6%
Northwest- 35%
Clarksburg- 36.4%
QO- 36.5%
SVHS- 49.9%
Gaithersburg- 57.6%
Watkins Mill- 64.4%

The BOE is really just voting yes or no on the superintendent's ultimate recommendation. A lot of this will really depend on who they hire as the superintendent for 2025-26.[/quote]

Yes they follow the super's recommendation but make no mistake they have their opinions on the matter and they make it known. [/quote]
