[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s no entitlement that all schools in the same district or all districts in the state have the same educational programs and opportunities available. If you could show a lack of access on the basis of race, national origin, or disability, you *might* have a claim. But you’d a) need to have a child from the harmed group and b) generally need to show an intent to discriminate (disparate impact claims are basically dead).[/quote] This is your high quality answer right here, OP. There is no legal theory on which to build a case, and the only way you might be able to make a case is if you could show that MCPS deliberately placed certain programs in certain communities in ways that harmed a protected class. That's not the case, however. The "regions" are pretty diverse, and while I'm not thrilled with the placement of the programs that best fit my kids' interests, I don't think that was intentional -- it's just bad luck for my family.
