[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I listened to the zoom call and did not like the happy/cheery attitudes of the speakers.  This is very disruptive to people’s families with all the bussing across county in option 3 and they are laughing and so proud of all their tools.

That seemed incredibly tone deaf to me.[/quote]

Yup. It's all shiny and pretty and so removed from the communities. We have 160k students. It's about them and their families. [/quote]

Well they did fire the PR firm that was going to handle public engagement. This is what you get when they do it themselves. [/quote]

So very tone deaf. Have an ounce of empathy. It’s not all about your pretty maps and charts.  These are real families with real lives, many of whom are already being impacted by the DOGE efforts. And these changes under option 3 will devastate anyone who gets bussed — whether to the East or the West — from the closest school to their home.  Moving will be hard to stay close to home.[/quote]
But no one is getting bussed east. Equity fixing is at the expense of bussing east to west and making it "those" kids come to the "nice school". Not the other way around. [/quote]

Plenty of kids are bussed east under option 3. Farmland => Kennedy.  Garrett Park => Wheaton.[/quote]

Garrett park to Wheaton makes no sense.  Do the planners have no concept of the county.  [/quote]

Farmland to Kennedy makes even less sense.[/quote]

Whoever drew the maps seems unaware of the train tracks on Montrose and thinks people can teleport across Rock Creek Park. What lunacy. [/quote]

Is it even legal for a school bus to cross train tracks? I ask in all seriousness. Also that is a busy crossing (Randolph) with MARC and freight trains that take forever. [/quote]
