Are you new to mcps and Dcumlandia?

It definitely impacts housing costs as people scramble to get into a W school.

There you go again. Justify denying opportunities for some students and only focus on students of certain groups. Why? Doesn't all students deserve opportunity to excel in education?

The equity accountability model looks at data of student performance to monitor that students in traditionally lower performing groups are doing well. It's not plan to give white/asian UMC kids bad grades or something

But, currently, they are still the majority in terms of power and higher ed. Don't worry. All is well in the white bubble.

In 2018, the last year for which data are currently available, the proportion of people in the U.S. under 18 years of age was just barely more white than nonwhite.

However, children under 11 were more nonwhite than white.

In almost one-third of U.S. states, nonwhite children outnumber all white children under 18 in 14 states – including Nevada, Hawaii, Georgia and Maryland – plus the District of Columbia.

Nonwhite children currently outnumber white children ages 0 to 4 in these 15 states and in Louisiana. In the next few years, the same will be true in North Carolina, Illinois and Virginia, followed a little later by Connecticut and Oklahoma.

In the coming decades, the percentage of all white children will drop – from 49.8% in 2020 to 36.4% in 2060.

White people aren't having children at a high enough rate to cover the dying white population.

First, the declining number of white children reflects the significant aging of the white population.

Whites in the U.S. have a median age of 43.6, much higher than those of all other racial or ethnic groups. Latinos, in particular, are much younger, with a median age of 29.5.

White kids are underrepresented in MCPS, compared to MoCo at large. They are 43% of the county population and 25% of MCPS.

Of course, MCPS ignores this, and still ignores them. Here's the 5 groups they focus on for the Equity Accountability Model:
https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/evidence-of-learning-framework/equity-accountability-model.aspx

1. Black, not low-income
2. Latino, not low-income
3. White/Asian, low-income
4. Black, low-income
5. Latino, low-income

In other words, they focus on every group except whites and asians who are not low-income. If you're Latino, which is the largest group at MCPS, you're a focus regardless of income.

I'm a little fuzzy on the definitions of who is considered a "minority" race / ethnic group at MCPS now?
