[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What boundaries in Bethesda do you think are going to change that will markedly change the wealth of the area..It is not like the boundaries can move a few miles and Whitman will include a low income housing project.[/quote]

The people most likely affected will be those on the edges who barely made it into the cluster.[/quote]

Oh c'mon, that's not the way it would happen.  Too much push back.  No, MCPS would shroud this type of boundary shift in the new lingo of social justice in order to get buy-in for it.  That would mean moving boundary lines in ways that are not just about shaving off a few blocks around the edges.  Save your schadenfreude until you can be sure you wouldn't be affected.  And, as always, be careful what you ask for (or, in this case, feel smug about).[/quote]

I live on the edge of a cluster which is why I'm mentioning it and it's nowhere near the awesome W schools.  In our case, we live in germantown.  The study says both of the high schools Seneca valley and Northwest will be overcrowded.  There are no plans to do anything with our school Northwest but Seneca Valley will be both revitalized and expanded.  It states overcrowded at NW will be relieved by the changes to Seneca which as I see it has to mean boundary changes.  NW is considered the better of the two schools.[/quote]

I don't disagree or doubt your statement.  I simply think that in order to do this type of boundary shift it will be rolled into a larger, more wide-spread "social justice" based boundary shift.  This way, theoretically, parents won't be able to effectively fight their individual changes.[/quote]
