[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If MCPS was totally honest, they would clearly publish maps to all parents, explain where their children would be, then ask each parent to provide an opinion.

The instruction would be clear, such as, "if you live in this part of the map, your ES would be A, your MS would be B, and your HS would be C under Option A"

There would also be clear reasons stated for boundaries such as "the reason why this zone was attached here was that 500 families are in zone A, but zone B only has 50 projected families, so could be transported for less cost to the other ES."

This type of openness and honesty is something that the current MCPS leadership would never do.[/quote]

MCPS publishes the maps. Also, the BoE does not make school boundary decisions based on current parent referendum, nor should they.[/quote]

When MCPS did the boundary change for the new RM elementary, I think they did most of this.  There were naps with different options.  They put out data on the effects each one would have on the schools in terms of size , FARMS, ELL etc.  They added more options after public review.  It was still contentious and messy but I did not feel like they hid anything.[/quote]

naps should be maps![/quote]
I guess you fell asleep at the switch!  :mrgreen: [/quote]
