I’m glad Silvestre asked that question, although I’m not sure we have a better answer for it. I have no problem at all with diversity being included as one of the criteria, but when you include language like that,[b] you’re leaving it open to interpretation what you mean[/b]. So instead of each of the four factors having equal weight, diversity supposedly has higher weight, but how much more?  With housing segregation being what it is, what happens when you have a scenario that pits diversity vs. walkability?[/quote]

"strive to", which is what it was before, is also open to interpretation, of course.

Who, associated with BoE or MCPS, has said that the demographics factor has greater weight?[/quote]

Jill Ortman Fouse the person who started all this was heard on record multiple times that this wording puts more weight on diversity.[/quote]

How did she vote on the boundary analysis in January 2019 - for or against?

How did she vote on the upcounty boundary study last fall?[/quote]
