[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And it's a disaster, and since MCPS has been secretive about the entire process (what happened to transparency?), people are going to be horrified. Not only with the 6 zones, but how much change this will mean for our communities.

That this is being done along side the boundary study, but not with the boundary study, is malfeasance.  [/quote]

They don't have a real plan and have to justify the millions they spent on the consultant firm.  Instead of central office coming up with logical boundaries, they blew millions that could have been better spent elsewhere.    AI or the kids probably could have done better.

For WJ, take off 800-100 kids and send them to Woodard who are on the Woodward side, then take Garett Park, North Bethesda/Rockville and send them to Woodward.  Done.  Then, rebalance the other schools slightly.  Add more funds/programs to the DCC to make it equal to the W school.  Add a magnet program to Kennedy to make it a more attractive school.  Make Einstein a true performing arts school - funding, staff, test in orchestra/bands like they do for VAPA and bring higher academics to it so students will stay.  And, do something special with Northwood and some of the other schools, each getting something to draw kids.  Or, turn one of the schools into a true magnet school and test in like TJ.  There are a few BOE running everything and they have no clue what they are doing and and very bias and probably getting kickbacks.  BOE members should not be working at MC in a position that is a liaison to MCPS, for example.[/quote]
