[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a W school district, though haven't followed the magnet thing since all our children are still in preschool. So W school children can't apply to Blair's science program or Richard Montgomery's IB program then? Anyway, there is a lot of overhead in running a school district, like maintenance, buses, and government-mandated bureaucracy (reporting and so on). There's a benefit to having that done at the county-level -- it's an economy of scale. You may need just one person to handle the system's FARMs program paperwork, but that's one person per school district -- so MCPS can spread that cost across most students. Not that MCPS isn't bloated on the admin-side, just saying there's a lot more to running a school district than the actual schools.[/quote] If we had smaller districts and returned to neighborhood schools, we could spend a lot less on buses.
