[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a very valid proposal and I wish MCPS would have had the stones to propose it themselves. However it is tone deaf for one school community to propose a boundary change impacting a different school community and not consulting them. [/quote]

They sort of did with all of their 9 or so options over the year.  It just didn't get positive feedback during the surveys and Taylor did what he believed was best for MCPS. It's his fiduciary duty after all.

Agree the petitioners should have consulted the various communities impacted but went on their own bc they don't care about anything but property value.[/quote]

It is not the petitioners’ job to conduct their own study. It is their right to present a concern or feedback on the options. Any other community can provide their own feedback or write their own petitions. [/quote]

They don't have to conduct their own study. It just looks bad to propose moving someone else out of their high school.[/quote]

Which is not what the proposal is about. VM and WW are being moved out of their current school  one way or the other.[/quote]

But Farmland and Luxmanor want them moved out of *Farmland and Luxmanor's* new high school.[/quote]

'Moving out' of the school that has yet to open and where no WW or VM student ever set foot is not moving out in a real sense.[/quote]

omg, these people.

Farmland and Luxmanor (or really, some people from) are campaigning to kick VM and WW out of the proposed new high school that Farmland and Luxmanor will attend. Rather than advocating for themselves, as in, "we don't want to change schools," they are effectively saying "we'll change schools, but we don't want it to be with them. Move them, and we'll be fine."

Which is... rude at best. I don't know what kind of definition of moving out you need in order to make it not rude. They are advocating for another school to change boundaries, so that their kids will not have to attend school with them.[/quote]

Under all options, recommendations, proposals, ..., some schools are being moved to some other schools. And nobody is calling it being 'kicked out'. Under the Taylor recommendation, VM is being 'kicked out' of Wheaton, Farmland is being 'kicked out' of WJ, Wheaton Woods is being 'kicked out' of Wheaton, ... The proposal simply calls for more balancing kicking to take place.

What do you find confusing?[/quote]

It’s different when it is the community (or a few vocal individuals of the community) [b]saying that they don’t want you at the same school as them. [/b][/quote]

Can you share a reference to where you are getting this from?[/quote]

The petition started by Diana Avram. The public comments by Diana and the Farmland realtor. The cold calls and other aversive “outreach” to VM and WW families under the guise of “partita between schools”.

Watch for yourself around the 1:00 and 1:12 mark. It’s disgusting.
