I’m from a state with town based school systems and that’s really not how it works...[b]many school systems draw from an incorporated town and then a few unincorporated areas that surround it.[/b][/quote]

Kind of like MCPS, huh?

Maryland really doesn't have town-based anything. It's just not how the state government is set up. The basic unit of local government is the county. [/quote]

No, not kind of like MCPS.  MCPS draws from the entire County.

MCPS is just ridiculously large.  And the system is not working because it is too large.  [/quote]

So that must mean all of these systems are "not working" either?  What is the magic number of students at which a school system becomes too large?
