Which is why some folks in the western part of the county worry that redistricting could mean long bus rides for kids if diversifying student populations is a key goal of the effort. It's not a crazy thing to worry about [b]when you try to square the rhetoric with the geography[/b].[/quote]

Geography is part of the rhetoric. Geography is included in the rhetoric. So you don't have to square anything. It's already in there.[/quote]

All the more reason to be concerned.[/quote]

If MCPS weren't talking about geography, you'd be concerned. But MCPS [i]is[/i] talking about geography, so - you're concerned.

Let's be clear that this is not about MCPS. It's about you.[/quote]

OK smarty pants. How do you propose to bring more "diversity" to Whitman and Churchill, two clusters adjacent to three other clusters (Wootton, BCC, Walter Johnson) that allegedly also need more diversity. It's easy to see how you make those three more diverse without long bus commutes, because they border clusters of schools that tend to have at least somewhat higher FARMS rates. That's much less true of Whitman and Churchill. So let us know how you plan to redraw boundaries for Churchill and Whitman in a way that significantly improves diversity but does not require long bus commutes on the part of students coming in or out.[/quote]

MCPS is looking at three things:

-diversity
-capacity
-geography (including transportation)

Not one thing. THREE things.
