[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are thinking too narrowly. The purpose for hiring a consultant is to look not only at MCPS's specific issues, but to look at creative solutions beyond fixed boundaries that are used elsewhere? What if every neighborhood had two or three schools at each level that it was "zoned" to, and there was a choice lottery process to place students when they entered K, 6, or 9 based on both interest and space available? MSMC and DCC already do this. You would just localize it more. That has the long term advantage of being able to shift students gradually as the demographics of different areas change. Short term, I'd bet that a fair amount of underutilization could be solved if they allowed COSAs to move from a school over 110% to one under 90%, parents arrange transportation. [/quote] For this type of creative study, can it be achieved within half a year? [/quote]
