[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I share the BOE's concerns regarding the lack of diversity and need to address the segregated schools throughout the county. Where I think the BOE/MCPS and allies of redistricting are being disingenuous is that this current county wide study/analysis only makes sense if comprehensive boundary changes are considered and eventually adopted. The county is too big and too segregated to think you can make any real change without making modifications to significant changes to boundaries or how school enrollment is managed. If the Board/MCPS is just looking to make marginal, common sense, and incremental changes that will aid in addressing some of the diversity issues (See Garrett Park/Kensington), you really don't need this type of study.

So while I disagree with MoCo folks that are against boundary changes,[b] I completely understand their frustrations because they/we are either being lied to and/or this entire process is being mismanaged. [/b]You cannot realistically address decades of community and school segregation by simply moving around a few lines on a piece of paper.     [/quote]

I think any parent who has had kids in MCPS these past 10 years feels this way.  So much is mismanaged in MCPS, and this whole thing seems no difference.  And, parents have been lied to by the BOE/MCPS leadership often, so there is incredible frustration.  [/quote]
