[b]We all know what this means.[/b] The award and the quote about "Boston's legacy" show that the primary intent of the revised boundaries will not be strengthening local neighborhood communities, or school excellence: it will be addressing the persistent "achievement gap." What I don't understand is why we're paying half a million dollars to do this; with this clear objective, it seems that a few staffers could redraw the lines in Google maps in a few days. [b]Well, at least we know what's coming[/b].[/quote]

Yes, what's coming is a report that should evaluate "several potential policies based on social equity, school capacity and anticipated transportation costs" with "enrollment projections based on 'fine-grained, location-based' projections."

Yes, and that benchmarks MCPS with other school systems of similar size and analyzes the impact of current boundaries and potential boundary changes on student body demographics, facility use, transportation, the use of schools to offer nonprofit or after-school programs, articulation patterns, and the pros and cons of cyclic boundary reviews.[/quote]
