[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who read too much Policy FAA and COMAR, I'll be interested to see what they come up with.

It's a heavy lift, given that COMAR gives great leeway to the local board.

From a previous appeal: "This appeal involves a redistricting decision of a local board of education. Decisions of a local board involving a local policy or controversy or dispute regarding the rules and regulations of the local board shall be considered prima facie correct. The State Board may not substitute its judgement for that of the local board unless the decision is arbitrary, unreasonable, or illegal" (COMAR 13.A.01.05.05A)

+1 Not to mention that the precedent here is not something this Supreme Court wants to touch. Federal courts instructing a local school district on how to draw boundaries would open up an absolute hornet's nest of future grievances, not to mention raising the spectre of a future liberal court forcibly integrating districts drawn to preserve predominantly white schools.

Oof again, none of yall even know the
Supreme Court vase. “Just relax” and let the lawyers do their job. [/quote]

I'm guessing you don't know how many cases SCOTUS takes each year (about 60). Even if the plaintiffs find a federal cause of action, it wouldn't involve a legal principle or social issue SCOTUS is looking to touch at all, let alone one significant enough to displace others. But enjoy your deluded thinking over the next few years as the lower court losses pile up.[/quote]

Right, SCOTUS took an interest in the other MCPS case because it touched on religious liberty territory that they love.

Somehow I don't think Barret, Kavanaugh, et al will care as deeply about some folks in Rockville not being able to walk to school anymore.[/quote]
