[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A screenshot of the Regions that were online yesterday are available in this article:

MCPS Parents: They should subdivide the county into smaller regions. NO, not like that!

MCPS Parents: They should offer more magnet programs to meet the needs of our bright kids who have bright parents. NO, not like that! [/quote]

The word “region” refers to geography. So explain how these regions make sense geographically. It’s clear they are doing everything they can to make certain schools more desirable (ie Kennedy)

Correct. If you're going to cluster schools into groups for reasons other than geography, it doesn't really make sense to call them regions.[/quote]

Making horizontal regions across the county is not any more ridiculous than making vertical ones. It's just that the vertical cuts would have preserved segregation, so it's what certain parents wanted. [/quote]

It still doesn’t make sense. How many high schools are there between Kennedy and Magruder? They aren’t all in the same region. It clear the BOE is dividing up the less desirable schools like Northwood and Kennedy[/quote]  Well there is Rockville HS, which is in the same "region". Are you saying Kennedy should be with Wheaton? The region does have to stop and start somewhere. What you want is to keep the schools segregated by income. Gross. These regions are diverse demographically, which is essential in terms of the ability to provide equitable programming. I imagine it will be optional to attend a different school than the home school.[/quote]
