[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing that will help kids the most is spending more on school not busing. Seriously, it's as if the people running things haven't been paying attention. It doesn't matter where you send a student in MCPS. A kid will get the virtually the same education at any school in the county. Sure, schools are ranked differently but that's more a function of their overall demographics than the quality education a person can get there. Busing won't accomplish anything beyond diverting resources from where they're needed.[/quote] The current boundaries are often historical legacies due to the fact that some subdivisions are more recent than others - they are not drawn to cause students to go to the closest schools. I can think of several instances where boundary changes could be made today that would improve diversity [u]and[/u] reduce geographic distances. The two things don't need to be mutually exclusive.
