[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has there ever been such an ugly BOE election?  The name calling, the accusations, the twitter wars, it's all disgusting.

Agreed. It's not usually like this. [b]That suggests to me people are not happy about what the BOE is doing.[/b] In most years, there's not a peep about the BOE election and you hear much more about the other races.[/quote]

It suggests to me that some homeowners who live in areas where people pay a hefty premium for "good" schools are very worried that the Board of Education will change school boundaries, thereby reducing their property values and forcing their children to attend school with the children of [i]those[/i] people.[/quote]
There is a whole lot of in between this and the previous poster up thread who said W schools should “be ignored”.  That’s what we’re trying to avoid. [/quote]

But MCPS is not ignoring the schools in Bethesda and Potomac, it hasn't done so in the past, and it is highly unlikely to do so in the future.

In that context, what does it matter if some anonymous poster on an Internet message board full of anonymous posters says that the Bethesda and Potomac schools should be ignored?[/quote]

Someone posted a list of free meal sites for needy kids. Not a single one in Bethesda. MCPS made that decision. How is that not ignoring Bethesda?[/quote]

The first sites were established near where the greatest number of needy kids could get to them. MCPS has the FARMS data and knows which areas have the most need. [/quote]
