[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m voting for Steve Solomon and Stephen Austin.  I don’t need my children attending different elementary schools when the one by us was a large factor in our purchasing of a home in Bethesda.  As a homeowner, I’m paying an outsized share of support for the public schools.   I also don’t need to complicate the already intense two parent household we run by moving one of my kids to a different elementary school that is non-walkable, when a walkable school is what our current boundary is for.

But MCPS has no intention to reassign walk-zone schools to schools where they would need bus transportation. Anyone who says they do, is fear-mongering.[/quote]

This is the boundary proposal for our local school.   It is absolutely going from walkable to not walkable.   I’m not sure why you think you know more than parents who are stressed at the thought of this.

Which boundary proposal for which local school? And how are you defining "walkable"? Current boundary studies in MCPS are:

Somerset ES and Westbrook ES
Rachel Carson ES and DuFief ES
Gaithersburg ES #8

The Somerset/Westbrook ES boundary study is the only one that has any options right now. The maps show the walk areas for each school. None of the options reassign the walk areas to the other school.
