This. It will be really interesting to see what they do with SV and the impacted schools. It's going to be ugly so get your popcorn ready, folks.[/quote]

It was always going to be ugly, because of the contingents from the Clarksburg and Northwest clusters who want Clarksburg and Northwest to be segregated high schools, and the poor kids should all go to Seneca Valley for their own good due to geographic proximity. There was already quite enough of that with the Hallie Wells MS boundary study, and even with the original Clarksburg HS boundary study. Just because we're in the Siberian Hinterlands doesn't mean we can't be every bit as nasty as parents in Bethesda, Potomac, and North Potomac.[/quote]

Well I get why they'd be pissed. No reason to bus kids 2 or 3 exits over to the other town just to fulfill the MCPS agenda.

Kids are not getting bused on exits, this is not a town-based school system, and the reason they're angry is that they don't want their kids in schools with poor kids - i.e., they want segregated schools. But segregated schools are bad for everyone, and MCPS should do what it can to reduce segregation.[/quote]

Not sure we can say that NW and Clarksburg are segregated schools
 Those schools are one of the most diverse on the county.[/quote]
