[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My question is whether the election next year will just end this entire process.  As in, Mayor Gray never gets out from under the cloud and therefore never runs, and Bowser runs and wins and can therefore never do anything that takes guts with regard to Ward 4 (where I live by the way).

That's a sad thought because this process is important, and I think a key aspect will be breathing new life into the schools in Wards 1 and 4 to make middle class families go there, both with carrots and sticks.

With Bowser in charge I don't think this process will do anything to create a system broader than one working feeder.[/quote]

In my view, an election or changing council/mayor will not stop this process.  I think its important to understand that the whole boundary issue really rests with the Chancellor and DCPS - it is not decided by Mayor or Council although they have input.[/quote]

According to a Post article on Nov 15, the Mayor has the ultimate authority to change the boundaries and he/she can do without the input of the Council.  The Chancellor and DCPS are running the process but the Mayor is not without power or influence.[/quote]
