RCES was originally built to serve the then newly built Kentlands. Including Lakelands makes sense, but people are discussing the reasons behind bussing kids in from Governor Square Apts, despite RCES being several miles from that apt complex.[/quote]

RCES is not Kentlands (and Lakelands) ES.

All students who are within the boundaries are within the boundaries, whether they live in Kentlands, or Lakelands, or anywhere else within the boundaries.[/quote]

I get that. The point people are making is that MCPS busses kids to RCES who live closer to other elementary schools. For example, Governor Square Apts is across the street from Fields Road ES, and yet those kids go to RCES. There are reasons for that, and people were discussing them.[/quote]

MCPS busses kids to RCES from Lakelands, too.

Also, which street are the Governor Square apartments across from Fields Road ES from?

There is no reason to expect that every child will go to the elementary school closest to their home.[/quote]

RCES is at most a 15 min walk from any portion of Lakelands. Governor Sq Apts is a 3 min drive (admittedly not technically across the street, but on the other side of Muddy Branch Rd) from Fields Road. MCPS made a decision to include that neighborhood in the RCES boundaries. It’s not an immediately logical choice, suggesting there was some decision making process behind it. [/quote]
