[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think financially the consortium program no longer makes sense.  [b]All of these schools are in the Woodward boundary study[/b] so that could be the device to make each school diverse and end choice/bussing.  The MCPS portion of the study is also looking to make programs more equitable across the county and certainly having school choice only in that one area is not equitable. MCPS after the boundary study could save lots of money by eliminating that consortium.  That gets rid of lots of bussing plus all staff that oversaw the logistics of that program.  The special programs housed at each school could be either closed or distributed differently to  make county access to those programs more equitable.  I do not see a future where MCPS is flush with money again so focusing schools back on the basics of teaching academics and offering less choice/bussing could free up lots of money that could then be used for smaller class sizes for the entire county, more para educators and more resources for English learners and special education - two areas that are underfunded and struggling.  Really all kids in the county should have access at their local schools to desirable programs and courses. [/quote]

The DCC schools are included in the boundary study. The NEC schools are not.[/quote]
