The people who keep arguing this was not about increasing diversity are very confused. You can argue whether this was legal or good or whatever but the facts are facts.[/quote]
They are not confused. They just don't want to admit it to themselves.

I know they're so hung up on those pesky fact things like the law.[/quote]
Obviously, MCPS can't do it based on race. Hence, "peer cohort" and removing WJ cluster from Barnsely.[/quote]

So how exactly does peer cohort equate to race for CES admissions in places like Cold Spring? :D Oh wait - it doesn't![/quote]
Oh oh, you got me with the one CES that is full of Asian students, a school that is super tiny.

Why did they move WJ cluster out of Barnsely?[/quote]

I don't know if some people believe there was a demographic reason to move WJ out of Barnsley.  We were told it was because when Silver Creek MS opened, CCES lost their 6th grade, so they had additional space.  Because CCES had additional classroom space, it made sense to add WJ ([b]and a third CES classroom[/b]) to CCES.  I don't believe that the Barnsley CES was reduced in number of classrooms, so effectively it does mean more spaces for students from the clusters Barnsley still serves.  [/quote]
Per the At A Glance, CCES

2016-17 - 4th grade 159 students
2016-17 - 5th grade 164 students

2017-18 - 4th grade 166 students
2017-18 - 5th grade 152 students

I believe the WJ change happened last year. Did they really add an extra CES class even though the size of the 4th/5th grade CES doesn't seem to have changed much or did they allow in more students in the serving clusters?

WJ change happened with universal screening. 2018-2019[/quote]
