[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For anyone who believes something written by the current board, I would remind everyone about the ES boundary changes passed last year for Gaithersburg #8 and Clarksburg.

My guess is the current board will do any boundary change short-notice and with superficial talk-to-the-hand parent engagement.

Since their legal warchest seems bottomless, I doubt there is any motivation to do otherwise?[/quote]

That's good news. I'm glad to see they're finally after 40 years going to do something other than capitulate to the Karens.[/quote]

Is this because they want to achieve equity goals at the cost of excellence as many say on dcum?[/quote]

No. It's because people hate change, and because home ownership is the primary source of wealth for most Americans. Anything that threatens property values, even a little bit, is seen as an existential threat to a family's well-being.

But the thing is that economically and racially diverse schools only threaten property values when we collectively decide that they should. The property loss isn't inherent, it's a manifestation of broader racial and class bias.

At any rate, MCPS is not doing a boundary study to pursue equity goals. They are doing a boundary study because there are too many children in too few schools, and new schools have been built. As a result, MCPS needs to set boundaries for those schools. [/quote]
