[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FOCUS, people.  You are taking this thread off the rails.

The facts are that the board put out a proposed policy for public comment, then they made a substantial change to the proposed policy, and then they approved the new policy (without public comment or review).  Any of you with any knowledge of public policy, legislation or rulemaking know that this would never stand up.  THIS is why there is so much mistrust of the board and MCPS leadership.[/quote]

Not true. They did open the changes up for review. https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3A7661eebc-f5d1-44bc-8ae5-7d4a85a29742[/quote]
DP... even if they didn't, this wouldn't necessarily reverse the recent boundary changes since diversity was always one of the four factors.  Unfortunately, it's not possible to have all four factors weighted equally.[/quote]

No they did not. Those 78 comments were from April through Sep 13th when all the factors were assumed to be weighed equally. The word especially was not in the policy during this review period. [/quote]

The factors still are weighed equally.[/quote]

please do research. This is not the case at all. Watch the videos and the articles from 2018.[/quote]

I've read the policy. I've heard MCPS staff say that the four factors are equally important. And I've read the superintendent's recommendation.

Please quote the part of the policy that says that one of the factors should be more important than the other three.[/quote]

The part that says "especially." Words have meaning. Especially means it is given more weight. [/quote]
