[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The county school board model used in this area seems inefficient. Where I grew up, each city managed its own schools and had its own school board. In this case of particularly small suburbs or towns, a couple would create one school district (for example, towns like Greenbelt/Berwyn Hts/College Park would likely combine to make up one district).

It's ridiculous that Silver Spring and Damascus are in the same district.

It's called a county.  That is how we run government in Maryland.  Each county has its own police, schools, and fire protection.  In these half-ass states that have 7000 townships there is constant in-fighting, the police can't cross a jurisdictional line, and the fire department lets homes burn down because people don't pay the fire tax.

I'll stick to our system thanks.    [/quote]

That is simply untrue. Local government is efficient government. If more places in MoCo were incorporated and ran independently, each jurisdiction could serve its own residents. That fire dept example is the exception, not the rule. It was one incident in one town and not how the fire dept operates typically.
