[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People don’t believe the agenda of the BOE which makes sense. 1 out of 8 kids was redistricted in Howard County.  Clarksburg was a mess. If you don’t live in this area you might not understand but they prioritized diversity over geography.[/quote]

The upcounty boundary study was not a mess (unless by "a mess" you mean "people who got reassigned are upset that they got reassigned"), and no they didn't.

I agree with this.  I don’t live up there, but as an outsider, it looked like they treated both geography and diversity as important factors that had to be considered, and each of which had to be compromised a bit in choosing the best plan overall.  Geography did not always trump diversity, but neither did diversity always trump geography.

Also, there are different ways to define “diversity.”  It is not factually one thing.  So there are challenges in this conversation due to people using different definitions and/or shifting definitions of “diversity.”  It is not clear that MCPS will use the same definition of diversity in every boundary study.[/quote]
