[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s about 20 years too late. Of course they should have. We are now at the point it should be at least 6. I mean NJ, PA, DE, NY, MA, etc... all have regions and districts.  I have no clue why this county continues this BS. The budget is so poorly run too. There is no personalization. No accountability. The board meetings, boundaries, open forums, etc.. never resolve anything because it is too much.  Don’t even get me started on snow days when there is one patch of ice up by Damascus. [/quote]

You are welcome to move to any of those other states if that is your preference.[/quote]

So you believe the budget, the upper administration, the board and everything are the best here, right?

You are satisfied with being the second largest suburban county school district in the country in number of students ([b]Fairfax now has more due to MoCo white flight[/b])

And MCPS is THE largest suburban school district based on square mile size?  Meaning no other school district without a major city (NY, LA, Chicago, etc...) is bigger.

A handful of board members for 160,000+ students?  No thanks. [/quote]

Citation needed.

Also, [b]LOL on measuring school district size in square miles[/b] - although I infer that you actually meant number of students per square mile, and I would love to read an explanation of why that's a relevant measure.[/quote]

Why are you LOL. I am not even the PP and it is very easy why square miles is a big deal in a highly populated county.

Weather is vastly different
Too many magnets schools all over and buses and cars driving to and from them increasing the worsening traffic
Not enough ability for people who don't have cars to attend county board meetings quickly and safely 
Bus depots and systems are overwhelmed and cost too much money.

It's not that hard, but yet you can not figure it out.   :roll: No school district should have 160+K students and be over 500 square miles. Especially one without a compact major city where most walk.  [/quote]
