Not really, it would have made more sense for proximity, continuity and articulation to keep Daly/Fox Chapel at Neelsville and then go to SV leaving CB and Gibbs at RH and Clarksburg. I can understand why from a racial diversity perspective MCPS did not want to do this. MCPS should be honest about it though and its a much stronger case to try to get the 2007 ruling overturned than to try to claim you didn't use race, especially when you published a racial impact table on your website as part of the announcement.

If MCPS admits racial balancing, the lower courts have to follow Supreme Court precedents and rule against it. In most cases, only the Supreme Court can overrule itself. Because the Supreme Court may not even take up this case, MCPS will have no choice but insists it is not about racial balancing.[/quote]

The good thing is that it will be super-easy to say that it wasn't about racial balancing, because it wasn't about racial balancing.

To repeat: MCPS looks at FOUR factors:

1. geography
2. demographics
3. facility utilization
4. continuity

This is not a secret. It's explicitly stated in the policy. It's been explicitly stated in the policy for years.[/quote]
