[quote=Anonymous]Defending MCPS by claiming, "did you attend any of the 13 community meetings about this study?" or "did you testify?"  No one who testified actually said "yes, this is a great boundary!  I love it!"  If MCPS really wanted everyone to understand it, they would have released the maps that explain the zones directly to the PTA's with enough time to poll parents as to what they thought.  Did that happen?  If it didn't, then MCPS and the board can never claim they received parental input or approval of their ideas and plans.

MCPS knows full well that giving the Public and parents The Palm is an inside joke at MCPS.  The average parent doesn't even know that these testimonies exist.  MCPS arranges meetings, or takes a call, or records a comment, all the while knowing that it won't change a thing.  The rationale is oh, only that person complained, and they're a nut-case who doesn't represent the Public since no one else complained.

Arguing that "the boundaries were like this long before that policy was passed" ignores the fact that MCPS didn't lift a finger to correct it.  Who is guilty then?  Only MCPS.

Saying it's "easy to complain" or does the "roll the eyes emoji" - you know full well that when you hand is caught in the cookie jar what the parental reactions will be.  But MCPS is confident that their unlimited legal defense funding from the County will continue.

The argument that "diversity is the top priority" was never something parents said.  That was made up by the 2018 board of education to cover their tracks.  The parents need to wake up and understand that the board members from 2018 were the most self-serving, corrupt and unprincipled in the history of Montgomery County.  I believe that all this gerrymandering that's ongoing is self-serving for friends and family - not in the best interests and bulk of working parents and the Public.

Until parents organize and cuts off the MCPS legal defense fund, the board is voted out, and the top people at MCPS are completely replaced - expect this to get worse and worse.
