[quote=Anonymous]It will be interesting to see what MCPS does.  I know that in FCPS there was an enormous amount of posturing in 2018 and 2019 about how important it was to undertake a county-wide boundary student "through an equity lens."

However, that coincided with the School Board elections in fall 2019, and the liberal Democrats couldn't have done more to beat a retreat from their prior rhetoric.  One candidate endorsed by the local Democrats who had initially set up a web page touting her support of "One Fairfax" (the county's equity policy) quickly scrubbed her campaign page of any references to that policy when some wealthy parents from her district challenged her. And then a few years later when they actually changed some school boundaries that same Board member, having been elected, made sure that a staff recommendation that would have added some multi-family housing to the wealthiest high school in the county was scrapped in favor of one that only moved some expensive single-family homes, while continuing to concentrate less expensive multi-family housing at other high schools.

At this point, I'd just as soon see the Democrats lose control of the local School Boards in the DMV entirely, because they don't have the courage of their convictions and the empty talk just chews up time (which often means delays in addressing things like school overcrowding and facilities needs).
