[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once again, FCPS is looking thru their equity lens; this a part of the great plan to boost achievement and of course lessen the FARMS numbers. I hope parents refuse to accept this arrangement.

The new policy doesn’t even have the word equity and it puts a priority on building capacity and transportation efficiency.

You really need to do your homework if you’re going to comment on things. [/quote]

Um, 2019 called.  This if the EXACT playbook that they had back then, except that they can’t call it equity now.  That’s why you get the democrats grasping at weird straws to justify the equity play (eg theoretical transportation cost savings).

It’s very transparent, and if you can’t see that perhaps you should be doing your homework.

Repeating it since you seem to be operating on tin foil hat conspiracies and gossip:

It doesn’t have the word equity because drawing boundaries to balance out the schools in terms of the race/ethnicity is illegal. I’m not sure if it’s illegal to base it on income/FARMS rate. So of course they’re not going to literally come out and say they’re redrawing boundaries for equity because that would open them up to an immediate lawsuit and a smack down from the state.

But during one of the SB meetings about the boundary policy, [b]one of the SB’s teacher lackeys who actually does teach at HVES[/b], praised the board for considering equity. So which is it? Purely transportation savings, cleaning up the attendance islands and split feeders, and better using available space vs. spending more money on construction projects? (That particular ship sailed a long time ago with the WP expansion …) Or is it going to be “equity” in all but the actual word, trying to balance out the FARMS rate at all the schools, and trying to prop up enrollment at under enrolled schools by any means possible? We don’t know and that’s why people are concerned. [/quote]

So you must live in the Hunt Valley zone. Don't name-call. That's childish. Accept the things you can't change.[/quote]

Nobody should just blindly accept bad policy. That’s ridiculous. [/quote]
