Got it, thanks!

Bear with me here, but I  thought that the point of pairing Chevy Chase schools with a school in Silver Spring, was in fact to desegregate those two schools and add more diversity to them?

I would have hought that in addition to the kids from NCC & CC, MCPS would also have included kids from other parts of Silver Spring that are farther away?

Correct me if I'm wrong... but [b]isn't the area around RH/Woodside JUST as white as where we are (off of Jones Bridge Rd)?[/b]

If this program was created to desegregate in the first place, why isn't MCPS drawing/bussing kids from elementary's that are further into Silver Spring to attend RH and NCC/CC also?

I apologize if I'm failing to see the big picture here, but it seems to me that if you're going to go through all of the trouble of having your entire student body change schools midway through elementary school, shouldn't a far greater effort have been made to TRULY desegregate and increase the diversity?

Please tell me if I'm missing something here, because it almost looks like a bait and switch occurred?

I wouldn't think so. Those areas are more diverse. Read about the history of Lyttonsville: [url]https://www.washingtonpost.com/realestate/neighborhood-profile-lyttonsville/2012/07/25/gJQAfgNICX_story.html[/url][/quote]
