[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree. There are valid positions on each side. Every school community deals with its own circumstances that are outside any parents’ control, and everyone is advocating for what they see as best for their own community. This is what they are supposed to do, and casting any one school as the villain is ridiculous.

I participated in the process, but come from a school that ends up at Westland with 1 or 7. I am irritated by the insinuations I read in these messages, and I want to share two things from a committee member perspective:

1) At the outset all schools were told several times that MCPS wanted to see representation from all communities, especially those that don't typically have a strong voice. RCF did that really well, organizing their Hispanic/Latino neighborhood community and putting a rep from that community on the committee. CCES had the same opportunity, but chose not to do so.

2) Option 7 was not one of the original options. The first 6 options included three that divided the CCES/NCC/RH communities, and understandably angered those communities. Nearly all committee reps asked for more options to consider, but CCES reps demanded an option that specifically split the RCF school by program. They wanted Option 10, but they got Option 7.
