[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot make heads or tails of these options. Clearly need to get to one of the boundary meetings cause it's hard to see the before and after of each option.[/quote]

The interactive map is actually really helpful once you get the hang of it.  You can put up the layer for current HS or MS boundaries and then toggle each of the new options on and off one by one.  You can also click on any address and it will tell you the MS and HS for all 4 options: https://maulfoster.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=03a8d9fa2f3e4d30938bd4868af3d0cc

Ok. Thank you! This helped.

Option 3 has some wild consequences, particularly for Kennedy. How on earth would MCPS explain the logic of that boundary?[/quote]

I think option 3 will be a dealbreaker because they can't afford the increased bus expenses.[/quote]

We can only hope.[/quote]

Can't ignore the expenses associated with failing to maximize facility utilization. Building out Edison won't be free. And Option 2 which does maximize utilization increases segregation.[/quote]

Option 2 seems to be slightly better than Options 1 and 4 (and the current state) in terms of making FARMS rates more uniform. But honestly Option 3 doesn't do a great job at FARMS rates either, while also significantly increasing busing and making it impossible to walk to school for many kids that would otherwise be able to.

Under Option 2 FARMS rates basically stay the same except for Northwood and Einstein which kind of swap rates.[/quote]
