This was a small scale boundary study so there wasn't an opportunity to bus very many kids yet they bused as many as they could get away with.  The boundary policy changes in 2018 also allow for MCPS to bus kids to adjoining clusters.  When there's a large enough study like there will be for Crown or Woodward there'll be a LOT of busing.  Had Covid not hit, [b]the BOE was set to tee up a countywide boundary study with the specific purpose of moving as many boundaries as possible to make MCPS as diverse as possible with as little care for proximity as they could get away with.[/b]  Busing is still coming.  It'll probably just take 15 years.  Thankfully my kids will be well out of MCPS by then but I feel bad for people with small children who are blissfully unaware of what the pro-busing boundary policy has in store for them.[/quote]

Nope, here in the real world that was never even suggested. Just another one of your fever dreams.[/quote]
It was suggested right in the boundary analysis resolution.

"It may not be feasible to revise all boundaries, however, there are [b]many schools[/b] in MCPS with 
adjacent school boundaries that have both significant disparities in socioeconomic and racial demographics and disparities in facility utilization. Examining the possibility of altering the 
boundaries [b]for these schools[/b] can present opportunities for progress toward ensuring that all 
students are able to reap the significant benefits of attending school with a diverse student body,"

Be honest with yourself, does this section sound like something an organization would write if they intended to sit on their hands or does it sound like the precursor to revise as many boundaries as possible?[/quote]

Did you not see where it says "many schools" and "for these schools"? That is not evidence of your claim that "the BOE was set to tee up a countywide boundary study."[/quote]
Did you not see where it says ""It may not be feasible to revise all boundarie?" That means they'd revise them all if it was possible.  The only way it's possible is with a countywide study.[/quote]
