[quote=Anonymous]As a dual-working family whose life would be completely upended by the logistics of anything that looks like Option 3, I attended one of the in-person meetings this week. It was not well attended so it gave attendees access to directly speak with the FLO people that developed the maps, MCPS officials and a BOE member.

These four maps are not the options - they are solely to demonstrate what each map could look like if they prioritized each of the four factors.  I think they did a terrible job communicating that.  That said, I left with an understanding that they want to balance the FARMS rate and I'm not totally convinced that some of our kids may be sacrificed to do it. Maybe not to the extent of Option 3, but some form of that.

Based on what I heard at the meeting, most parents,  no matter where they lived, are worried about lack of proximity. Parents whose children were being bussed into a "W" school were just as upset as those being bussed out.

I hope parents are loud enough now that our voices are considered in developing the actual options that will be released in the fall. And if you get the opportunity to go to an in-person, I highly recommend it. In-person conversations seem much more productive in showing that our kids are more than just a set of demographic numbers. [/quote]
