[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mind school district to allot more tax money to poor/resource-scarce schools. I don't mind increasing my property tax slightly every year to enhance the education quality. I [b]DO MIND corruption and waste of my tax money on crappy things like regional model and building new schools[/b] when the enrollment is declining. In this sense, smaller size is much easier and transparent to manage than a MCPS. [/quote]

This exactly. Mcps is going to need to do some serious soul searching and major cuts as tax payer revenue starts to dry up and enrollment increasingly declines. Smaller is better here per MA, NJ, NY outcome examples and all the naysaying of this thread thinking that the desire to shrink the size is in an effort to hoard funds for the wealthier areas have it wrong. Breaking up the county has nothing to do with trying to pull funds from poorer areas - the split can be north / south.

Anyway, be creative folks! If we're going to redraw the lines and add in this regional model, why not also change the management structure at the top?![/quote]

Because this is Maryland, and the state doesn't allow such changes.[/quote]
