[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTW, [b]how did QO / Wootton get their own nice little boundary study for Rachel Carson?[/b]  How did they get away from the Equity Wing?  I would think Gaithersburg HS would be thrown in for equity and drama, or perhaps Northwest HS.[/quote]

This boundary study hasn't even started yet. The Board of Education will determine the scope when it does. However, since Rachel Carson is in the Quince Orchard cluster, and Dufief is in the Wootton cluster, I really don't know why the Gaithersburg cluster would be involved.[/quote]

Because it is not nice to build your entire social justice paradigm on the backs of Cabin Branch, most of whom don't even understand what has hit them or why because these are starter homes owned by a politically unsophisticated population.

[b]And because the W clusters need an alarm to wake up[/b], run strong candidates for the BOE, and vote as a block.  It is time.[/quote]

It will be a debate full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

The most likely outcome is changes to boundaries at the margins that shuffle some kids around (including perhaps at Walter Johnson, Wooton & Churchill) to address capacity and nominally shift the demographics of the various schools. Traffic in this area is so awful that large scale transportation of students across what are now several different attendance zones just won't be feasible, logistically or financially.

I do expect a repeat of the messy debate that just unfolded in Howard County, but at a larger scale. Better buckle up.
