[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is widespread concern about boundary lines all over MoCo. It affects two very important things families care about deeply: children and property values. Why else are there multiple threads here on DCUM about it, [b]community meetings being held everywhere, middle and upper class housing division board leaders going door to door to engage their residents[/b], flyers, postcards sent home, Facebook groups etc. etc. You can try to sizzle out the panic as much as you can here on this board but the reality is friends, neighbors and families are paying close attention to this issue. Some will stay no matter what the outcome but many will make a decision that most favorably benefit their children and assets. [/quote]

Really? What community meetings? I have relatives who live in an expensive neighborhood zoned for a no-poor-kids school; I'll ask them how many people have knocked on their door.[/quote]

PP is likely is talking about the the families impacted by the Seneca Valley, Clarksburg and NW boundary study. This is normal behavior around here. Everytime there's a boundary change, everyone fights like hell for the option that benefits them the most. I know there's been a community meeting by Clarksburg families and another one by NW families. They are worried about longer bus rides and overcrowding.  Meanwhile, the SVHS PTA and community is fighting to balance the demographics between the 3 schools. [/quote]

Oh, yes, the last time there was an option to rezone Gibbs to Neelsville MS, I received an e-mail appeal that boiled down to: If you don't think it's alarming that we will have to send our kids to that horrible school, just think about the effect on your property values!!!![/quote]
