Yah, goal is to have all schools perfrom similar. I susopect bussing will be huge part of this plan by distributing all kids in different schools. It won't help any kid but it will look good on paper when reviewing school's disparity.

I am convinced that BOE will do all they can to distribute FARMS. Some variation of option 3 is going to be boundary. No other option will match with that they sare saying in their strategic plan for 2026-2030.

Redistributing farms is not a good idea as they lose funding and kids will still self segregate. [/quote]

Which schools specifically receive extra funding because of their FARMS rates?[/quote]

If it is over 50% FARMS that makes it a Title I school leading to greater funding.  I think Wheaton was like 57% FARMS….but that was a while ago.[/quote]

There are no Title I high schools in MCPS.

Thank you.  I wonder why the percentages don’t apply to the high schools.[/quote]

So some folks are falsely stating that segregation is in low income kids' best interest because they get more funding that way, except they don't. DCUM, never change.[/quote]

Well this is overall false.  Schools losing title 1 status do lose funding and title I status is based on high farms rates.  Why McPS doesn’t allocate any farms money to high schools despite high farms rates is…well no one seems to know.[/quote]

If you are making claims about what is best for low income kids in other communities, you should make sure your claims are correct or you look like a complete see you next tuesday. You are pretending to care about these communities but are just pursuing your own self interest.[/quote]
