[quote=Anonymous][quote]I know where it is. I grew up in SS. I also know the system inside and out.

SS and Bethesda are congested. A two-mile difference doesn't matter in their eyes. What matters is diversity - and that's defined by race and SES. Since Sligo Creek ES has low FARMs and is majority white, the county will not do "an exchange" between SCES and WES. ain't happening

You weren't around when the lines were redrawn btw Blair and BCC. That was years ago. So this isn't new.

Nothing will end "bright flight." Note that it's no longer "white flight," as educated parents with means will find the 'best" schools for their kids.[/quote]

You may know the system "inside and out" but no one is talking about a "switch." The point of mentioning SCES wasn't suggest a switch with WES. It was to point out that you don't have to bus kids across the county to find boundaries where you have a overutlized and more segregated school adjacent to underutlized schools with concentrated poverty.
