[quote=Anonymous]If you are a CCES, NCC, RHPS parent and you are OK with Option 7, you need to wake up!!!!!!!  Option 1 is the most equitable.  You are not only doing a disservice to your OWN children with 7, but think of the next two decades of kids you are selling short.

You are bequeathing them an overcrowded school from the moment it opens with a lopsided FARMS and overall diversity rate that essentially turns Westland into a "private school" (not my words but the words of friends of mine at the proposed Westland boundary who love to the new arrangement because their property values "jumped overnight!")  It is board sanctioned segregation thanks to a weak BOE pandering to RCF.  Why is the NAACP not involved in this?  What about the achievement gap they are so desperate to close?   Does it not matter that they are creating what will no doubt be an overachieving school in Westland and a less achieving school at BCC#2 due to overcrowding, inequity and lack of resources?

We have the real kids in need at RHPS.   Our kids don't live in single family homes like RCF able to walk to a BRAND NEW SCHOOL for 6 years!  They live in multi level government housing, Paddington, Barrington, Summit Hills.  They get to stay local for three years and then are bused!  Amazing that RCF pitches a fit and gets their way about proximity after having it so easy when RHPS has paved the way for equity and diversity through shared sacrifice by busing for over three decades and is expected to give even more!  How about RCF participates in shared busing too for three years?  They get a brand spanking new walkable neighborhood school for 6 whole years and then they get bused for only three in middle school? Amazingly, under that plan, they still get a better deal than RHPS/CCES/NCC!

This is not "overblown" or "hysteria".   These are the facts.   The people who have been holding up the Diversity and Equity bargain in Chevy Chase and NCC are tired of being railroaded.[/quote]
