[quote=Anonymous]This could have been solved much more equitably with a simpler approach. MCPS should have taken the 25 set aside seats for TPES and marked those as only available to FARMS students from anywhere in county. MCPS should have announced plans to open another real magnet in up county or the west with another 25 seats set aside for FARMS only kids. All other spots go the highest scoring kids - merit based no profiling. There is a lot of poverty in Germantown and some sections of Gaithersburg, its unreasonable to expect these kids to take 1.5 hour or longer bus ride across the county two times a day. This solution would achieve the goal of including more URM students and benefit everyone except the UMC white kids that take the easier TPMS spots, which should be fine. There is no valid argument for why white rich kids in TP need some type of special access at the expense of everyone else. [/quote]
