But MCPS is not responsible for housing policies.  They are trying to de-segregate as much as they can by busing, much to the disgust of many parents.   What exactly is the school district supposed to do about the fact there are very few low income housing in certain parts of the county?   How can the school district force wealthier parents to live in the poorer parts of the county?

Heading on to five pages of people explicitly defending segregated schools...[/quote]
? How am I defending it? I'm saying school districts can't do much about housing policies. And you didn't answer the questions.  If you can answer that $64K question of how the school district can change housing policies, then you should run for the school board since you seem to think you have the answers.

And I don't live in a W cluster.[/quote]

School districts can do a lot about school policies, though.[/quote]
Yes, and the only thing they can do is busing and trying to attract more wealthier families to under performing schools by placing magnets in such schools.

And isn't this what MCPS has done and also trying to do with "busing".

That's not "defending segregation" as someone keeps stating.  I'm still waiting to hear from that person to answer the question of what you want MCPS to do about housing policies that are creating the segregation.[/quote]
