[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think folks at MCPS and MCEA need to get their heads around the fact that a tax increase for schools is going to be a pretty hard sell[/quote]

Oh so think they already understand that.  You know who clearly doesn’t? Parents who want everything fixed and resolved now as though magical fairies will come provide materials and services for free.

Folks are willing to pay $45k for The Potomac School that doesn’t have to address nearly as much as a public. But somehow scream bloody murder that the MCPS budget is $3B.  Nevermind that averages to about $18,750 per student.[/quote]

We really need a private subsidy program.  It's absurd that MCPS forces kids into these boundaries by zip code with no opt-out.

I mean they say Rockville can't have a special program, because RM nearby has the IB program, but none of these programs are accessible to RHS students, so we're stuck with no programs, no "Halo" effect from being in a school with programs.

I'm pretty sure that 18K would go a long way towards some private education.[/quote]

Boundaries do not go by zip code. And RHS has an IB program currently, and would continue to have one. And would still be in the same region as RM in the new model, so would still have access to RMIB.[/quote]
