[quote=Anonymous][quote]No one likes change -- yet school boundaries have been and will continue to be changed from time to time. Its important to listen to the community but ultimately someone is probably not going to like the outcome.[/quote]

[quote]This is very true, however, forcing low income people to commute further away in the name of diversity can hurt the very people mcps is trying to help.[/quote]

MCPS is not trying to help the low income people anymore than the high income people. MCPS is always looking out for itself. Diversity bussing when the FARMS rate is already so high would not improve performance for the low income kids. It won't change the achievement gap either. They know it. It will make it appear that some schools are improving and they don't have the stark divide between very low performing schools and high performing schools. It doesn't make a difference to the kids other than the inconvenience of being bussed away from home.

I think the previous poster who said that their community would try to fight and is preparing to move if they lose hit the nail on the head when she said "we might not win but neither will the BOE. " People will not just play along with this crap. [/quote]
