[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was not the case to make students to attend nearby schools in the Clarksburg redistribution. why would anyone believe boe just wants to make small shift and improve school utilization. If nobody is entitled to specific schools, why people are totally fine with being segregated from private schools? Isn’t that the biggest inequality? [/quote]

This is exactly what happened in Clarksburg. They were not sent to Bethesda or Silver Spring! They went to the school next door! And your comment about private schools just makes no sense at all so it does not make sense to reply about that.[/quote]

I hardly call a school that is 7.8 miles away next door. Have you driven 8 miles in traffic around here? Try being on a school bus. Why is Cabin Branch and Rural Boyds the only neighborhoods in the study that have to go that far? Everyone else is commuting  1-3 miles, 4 miles tops. Oh and before you talk about overcrowding.. well the option that leaves these neighborhoods in their current school actually provides the best outcome for Clarksburg. Diversity trumped all other factors in this one. Just look at Clarksburg as a prime example of what the BoE is willing to do.[/quote]

1. Clarksburg HS and Seneca Valley HS are adjacent high schools. Rocky Hill MS and Neelsville MS are adjacent middle schools.
2. Cabin Branch is not the only neighborhood that has to go "that far."
3. Before Clarksburg HS opened, the whole area was zoned for Damascus HS - speaking of "that far."
4. From the future location of the elementary school in Cabin Branch, it's 2.4 miles (on the school bus) to Clarksburg HS and 5.3 miles to Seneca Valley High School.
5. Complaints from people who moved to Cabin Branch about the great distance to Germantown are ridiculous.
6. There is no such thing as "Rural Boyds."
