[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched the video public testimony from the BOE meeting on Thursday. I’m a bit puzzled by some of the comments from people about equity. I absolutely want equity for others and am fortunate to live in a wealthier area, but those comments from people, what do they want? Are they asking for MCPS to bus them from BCC and Woodlin ES 30 minutes away to schools to mix wealthy families with those who aren’t? Are they wanting poorer kids to be bussed 30 mins to their schools?

I get it on the margins like Kensington could be mixed with Einstein, or parts of Silver Spring could go to BCC, but to bring kids to Whitman from Silver Spring or from Churchill to Crown or from Darnestown to Crown just doesn’t make sense.

So what are these people really seeking?[/quote]

It seems like several Woodlin parents preferred the first round options sending them to BCC.[/quote]

Woodlin has some quite wealthy families. They aren't that close to Einstein so I don't see the problem with bussing them to BCC.[/quote]
