I think if MCPS tries to adopt a consortium based system throughout the county with people being assigned to any of 4-5 schools within a boundary area which is redefined to create defacto racial and SES modeling then I think an organized effort to change the state laws and break it apart will occur.

Someone from MCPS floats the idea of moving away from home school boundaries toward consortiums every few weeks. Its an idea that has been floating around MCPS and the BOE in the context of engaging a consultant to study "new ideas" for the boundaries. MCPS is investing in expansions in schools like Seneca Valley and Kennedy despite these school being projected to be under capacity or no growth. MCPS is interesting in racial and SES modeling beyond anything else. I guarantee you that getting rid of home schools and moving to larger consortiums will be one of the recommendations from the consultants.

Everyone is going to be angry when they take away home schools but they already laid the foundation in the Metis report. The Metis report already showed (at the request of MCPS) that the DCC is not working because the schools are self segregating with the choice options. The only way for MCPS to rebalance this is to do away with home schools and use geographic location as proxy for race to make school assignments.

Let me guess you're from VA? Yes this will make VA even more attractive.

It will be so cool to see the system drop even lower. Watch out Detroit and Baltimore , MCPS is racing down to beat you to the bottom![/quote]
