[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does anyone propose to bring more diversity to east county schools? That's a whole lot of poors and majority minority.  I bet if the BOE asked for volunteers from these schools to get on a long bus ride to go to the western counties, enough would sign up to solve the diversity issue. some of us in the east dont want to be here.

But you moved there, you want your cake and other people’s too[/quote]

I’ll bet that very few eastern county students would want to travel 45-60 minutes each way every day. They’d prefer to attend school with their own kind. [/quote]

What "kind" is that?

Well, for a county wide school magnet program introduced to a given high school, anyone can attend from
the entire county and they don't provide bussing. If you want to see popularity of those programs, go
to the next information meeting next time.

Here is the current MCPS offering of the magnet programs both testing in and no testing required.
Most of them are just by application and lottery.

Those programs are so hugely popular that there is always more students then spots
and parents gladly drive kids to school even if they don't offer busing by default.
Those are wonderful programs that otherwise would be not available for kids at their
local school.
