[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone been following latest from MCPS?  Wootton is already over crowded with new construction in the area. They plan to build a new school at Crown and shift the boundaries. Western part of Wooton may go to Crown along with some from Churchill and Richard Montgomery. More Cabin John students may go elsewhere?[/quote]

Hope they can adjust these boundaries to help increase the diversity in these schools.[/quote]

Huh?  Where did that come from?  Parents want their kids to be sent to their closest school.  Diversity is not a priority.[/quote]

I remember reading the board of educated voted to prioritize this over the other criteria like proximity when making these decisions.[/quote]

Yes, it's inevitable since the average school has 35% FARMS and many are at 70% while these schools with gerrymandered boundaries are at &lt;5%. I get that when they were setup things were different but this needs to be addressed.[/quote]

Yes, for all the progressive talk MCPS is very segregated - the W schools in particular.  [/quote]

I'm not sure where you're getting that many of the W schools are 70% white. In fact, none that I can find are.  These are actual, factual percentages of how white some of these schools are:

Churchill is 46.7% white: extension://bfdogplmndidlpjfhoijckpakkdjkkil/pdf/viewer.html?file=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.montgomeryschoolsmd.org%2Fdepartments%2Fregulatoryaccountability%2Fglance%2Fcurrentyear%2Fschools%2F04602.pdf

Wootton is 41.6% white: extension://bfdogplmndidlpjfhoijckpakkdjkkil/pdf/viewer.html?file=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.montgomeryschoolsmd.org%2Fdepartments%2Fregulatoryaccountability%2Fglance%2Fcurrentyear%2Fschools%2F04234.pdf

Whitman is 67% white: extension://bfdogplmndidlpjfhoijckpakkdjkkil/pdf/viewer.html?file=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.montgomeryschoolsmd.org%2Fdepartments%2Fregulatoryaccountability%2Fglance%2Fcurrentyear%2Fschools%2F04427.pdf
