[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all this redrawing the boundaries talk, is there a distance you live from a school where they will not be allowed to change your designated school?  Like if you live on the same block as a school?  If you’re considered a walker and don’t have an assigned bus?  If you live within a half mile?  Or is no one safe?[/quote]

Ask Horizon Hill neighborhood - who literally back up to Frost MS and Wootton HS and were re-zoned and bused to JW and RM 2-3 miles away.

It also lowered their home values by $50K at the time and about $100-$130K now. [/quote]

That’s terrible and a huge concern for many. Not just moving out of a walkable neighborhood school, but losing a huge amount of equity on a house. That is a lot of money! [/quote]

And MCPS doesn’t care nor should they.  Boundaries are not made to protect your value.  It about capacity management and use of resources.[/quote]

Completely agree but there's a fair amount of blatant fearmongering going on in this thread. Every credible indication seems like these changes will be a welcome improvement for the county.[/quote]
