Sigh.

Kensington and the areas I mentioned are at risk of being clustered into the Downcounty Consortium (of which Bethesda Chevy Chase HS is *not* part) for purposes of diversity.

MCPS and the Board of Education have always had this hankering to bus students in an attempt to close the achievement gap through diversification. They recently voted to weigh this criteria MORE than others. They also stated that long bus rides would be out of the question. This means that in all logic, a student living in the Walt Whitman district out west is not going to have two hour rush hour bus ride to Einstein. However, the white and wealthy eastern fringes, including Kensington, east Bethesda and Chevy Chase, are in the running.

The fact that Woodward is very close to Walter Johnson does NOT guarantee that students will come from Kensington. Because again - diversity!

Get it now?[/quote]

No. Are you saying that OP is concerned that OP's kid might have a long bus ride to high school? Or are you saying that OP is concerned that OP's kid might be zoned for the same high school as students who are not white and wealthy? Or are you saying that OP is concerned that OP's house might be zoned for a high school attended by students who are not white and wealthy, and therefore OP will be barely able to give the house away when OP tries to sell?[/quote]
