[quote=Anonymous]It certainly feels like regional options are the way MCPS is going and I’m open to it. As a MCPS teacher, I see that community is not created by attending a certain school/the closest school to you. It is created by active family participation and their willingness to work hard to create opportunities for connection and relationship building. Someone mentioned private schools are ruining their area’s sense of community - but I know families who leave MCPS and choose private school specifically for the tight knit sense of community they provide. My school has both a neighborhood side and an immersion program (choice after lottery). There are wayyyy more parent volunteers/requests for family involvement from those that chose the immersion program compared to those zoned into the school. I think MCPS sees if parents choose a program because they believe in it, they are more actively engaged. In this way, regional programs may create MORE community because of active family involvement versus passive zoned school placement. [/quote]
