[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gotta say that, so far, I like how MCPS is sharing info up front, so people can mull it over and consider what it means for them and their community.

Pre-pandemic, the idea of redrawing boundaries generated a lot of anxiety and controversy.

Based on this thread, today, I'd say there is interest and maybe some concern, but not a lot of anxiety or a sense of deep unfairness among most commenters. Maybe that's coming, as one or more options seem like the favored ones, but so far people seem to be taking the prospective changes pretty well.[/quote]

To be honest, I am anxious. My house is currently zoned WJ. A rezone to Kennedy would have a negative effect on my house value. That makes me very nervous.[/quote]

Respectfully property values cannot and should not be a consideration for MCPS, however.[/quote]

But they can be a consideration for anyone who wants to get elected/reelected. [/quote]

Exactly. Not clear that even left wing voters want their kids to be the subject of ill-thought out utopian social engineering experiments.[/quote]

It'll expose the hypocrisy of the DEI crowd. All for it until "their" house gets rezoned so their kids have to go to school with the poors.[/quote]

If you look at the numbers for BCC, you will see that there are already rich kids going to school with then”poors”, or as we call them, students.   So diversity is not really the issue for parents in the BCC cluster.   And I doubt that the parents in the Whitman cluster will object to a small amount of students from Silver Spring being bussed in to slightly increase their diversity level, because the change is slight.[/quote]
