[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Asian friends zoned to churchill say their community just had a meeting with Julia Yang, and they would vote for E and G for the school boundary options. They asked others not to vote option H because they know wootton community (majority Asians) hate option H.

I am an Asian not in region 4, so I stay neutral. [/quote]
I think option H makes the most fiscal sense.

And  I'm an Asian American.[/quote]

Let’s close 20% schools in Montgomery county because it makes most fiscal sense. 
[/quote]

Let’s remove all special programs because it makes the most fiscal sense. We can do this all night. We just can’t look at this through a fiscal lense.[/quote]

Sure, but at least we can agree that it does make the most sense.  So it is a clear winner there.  And that is one thing that matters to ALL of the county.
Another thing that matters to ALL of the county is doing something that balances the best interest of ALL students of the county IN THE LONG TERM.  On that one, Option H is a top contender, if not a clear winner.

So....Option H makes the most sense.[/quote]

No, it does not balance the interest of all students in the county for the long term-that is YOUR opinion. And I disagree with it. And the majority of the Wootton community also disagrees with it. [/quote]

Can you explain why it is not in the best interest of all MCPS students in the long run?

And, I'm not sure that the Wootton community really believes it is not int he best interests of all of the students in the county in the long run, or even that they are thinking about students outside of Wootton.  That is fine, advocate for yourselves.  But I haven't seen an argument to refute that it isn't the most practical decision for the county in the long run.[/quote]

Doesn’t saying all students include Wootton Students? So if it it’s not in the best interest for them-then it’s not in the best interest of all students. Their school is here-on Wootton parkway, same place it’s been for the last 55 years and where many of them can currently walk to. Multiple neighborhoods can walk to Wootton right now. Only one area will be able to walk to Wootton under H. [/quote]

Oh, I should clarify “best interest of all students” means collectively what option serves the interests of ALL of them best? Certainly, some will benefit more and some will benefit less, but the job of MCPS is to do what is in the collective best interest of them all.[/quote]
