I don't have kids in school and planning to downsize. Losing 100-200K is huge for me. I suspect that will happen with 30% FARMS.
40-50% FARMS will actually result in a bigger drop and I won't have any equity left for retirement.
Your house is not a good retirement plan. It’s not going to impact things.
Its a big chunk of my net worth and I was going to downsize soon. It was surely a big part of my retiurement plan.
I don’t get people like you.
I am not the PP but poeple have right to feel bad about a big chunk of retirement money dissapearing. Seniors may not have kids in school but they pay taxes whoch support schools. BOE has every right to take whatver decision they want but citizens have evry right to express themselves. I don't see a problem with that and not sure why you don't get it.
It’s not retirement money.

Not everyone is as racist as you and will only move somewhere where the schools are white I mean good (which is what you are basically saying). If the neighborhood is good and your kid can excel at school there is no issue. There is an issue however with your “white” priviledge. You are living in a predominently white nice neighborhood because of segregation and oppression. If you can’t get that them I am sorry…

Yah, goal is to have all schools perfrom similar. I susopect bussing will be huge part of this plan by distributing all kids in different schools. It won't help any kid but it will look good on paper when reviewing school's disparity.
I am convinced that BOE will do all they can to distribute FARMS. Some variation of option 3 is going to be boundary. No other option will match with that they sare saying in their strategic plan for 2026-2030.
Redistributing farms is not a good idea as they lose funding and kids will still self segregate.
Which schools specifically receive extra funding because of their FARMS rates?
I'm hearing crickets

You purchased an asset that can go up and down in value. Grow up and stop trying to influence school policies so you can benefit from a property value that is rooted in segregation.
This!

1, 4, 2
For me, options 1 & 4 are non-starters because they still leave Wheaton ~120% over capacity. Why build a new school to alleviate overcrowding if we’re not going to actually alleviate overcrowding?
Option 3 is too expensive and a poor use of tax dollars that should be spent on teaching and learning.
2 is the only viable option here but I think they’ll come up with different ones after this comment period.
Up thread there was a whole discussion about how to solve Wheaton overcrowding in option 4
