I'm really struggling to see how splitting into two districts would really help, particularly when the county would still be responsible for allocating money for schools and making related housing development decisions.

The current argument about even thinking about reopning schools is "MCPS is too big. We can't do it. All the districts that have plans to reopen are smaller."  So apparently a smaller district would make them nimble enough to consider reopening. As it stands, they have not even published a plan for how to reopen (the phases), nor provided metrics for entering each stage.

Meanwhile, Washington County, MD, just an hour away, has a board-approved plan published on 9/1, and their first group of students (pre-k and special ed) started in-person schooling yesterday:

Apparently MPCS is unable to even publish a _plan_ because they are too big.[/quote]
I'm a PP who has stated on here that it is not fair to compare MCPS to smaller districts as far as re-opening plans, BUT I do also think splitting the district north/south would be helpful, and yes, it would be much easier to plan for re-opening if the size of the population that needs to be dealt with is smaller.[/quote]
