[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"There are very few under-enrolled schools. Some of the people advocating this are looking at 20-50 seats in elementary schools and saying boundaries should be changed to "use" those seats. There is a reason that MCPS considers 80-100% utilization to be ideal. It's very hard to do a boundary change that would add only 20-50 students. Then you get the question of how stable are these numbers and how often are you going to be doing the boundary changes? The more frequently you do boundary changes, the more problems you have with siblings being assigned to different schools."

+1000.    Finally, a voice of reason! These people who think boundary studies are the answer, have never lived through one, and don't realize what is actually involved.  The bad feelings and anger last for decades. On top of which, as the previous person mentioned, you're talking about 20 seats here 50 seats there, and spread throughout many grades.  [/quote]

Perhaps, a voice of reason but one that is sadly misinformed. [b]As the PP stated, there are many underutilized schools.[/b] The county has an obligation to better use the resources that are available. [/quote]

DP. Nobody is denying this. The question is whether and how boundary studies and school reassignments are a solution to the problem in the real world we live in.[/quote]
