[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From where? For what reason?[/quote]

Demographic reasons potentially. It's not beyond the realms of possibility. Clarksburg kids go to Germantown schools now and Germantown kids go to Clarksburg schools.  If the BOE sees that putting all Cabin Branch kids in the new school isn't going to achieve their goal of enhancing diversity, they will select an option that will, and that could mean bringing in kids from other areas.[/quote]
This. And demographic reasons = busing.[/quote]

The Clarksburg area is pretty diverse so I don’t think its going to be too much of a problem.[/quote]
That was the main complaint of the many Clarksburg families whose kids were bused a couple years ago.  Why did MCPS feel the need to send so many kids to schools so far from home when their neighborhoods and schools already looked like the UN?  The answer is the diversity-first boundary policy and the ideology behind it.  During the discussions in which the policy was changed, one member said the ideal mix of students was 1/3 black, 1/3 white, and 1/3 Hispanic.  And school not meeting that ideal mix will be subjected to crazy rezoning.[/quote]

This. Montgomery County is crazy and as much as they like to state the importance of diversity, they would never do what they did to Clarksburg to a W school which in my opinion could use a little more diversity. The board is simply too scared to scare off the White people of Bethesda and could care less about the minorities at Clarksburg. [/quote]
