This poster really, really, really wants people to believe that the sky is falling. A person might wonder why.

It sounds like PP just doesn't want her kids bused and I agree with her.

THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!

You must be commenting on the wrong thread. We're not talking about meteorology or nursery rhymes. We're talking about the real possibility that MCPS will use the Crown boundary study to push more unwanted busing on MoCo families.

Well, how about we talk about the real actuality that MCPS will use the Crown boundary study to establish boundaries for the new high school, which by definition will result in reassignments of students from neighboring schools. MCPS will try to maximize walkers to the new school such that anyone living within the walk zone will be reassigned and will no longer have to ride a bus to high school. Yay! And those outside the walk zone will have to ride a bus, as they do now, and those decisions will be made in 2024/25 according to an analysis of four factors: demographic characteristics, proximity, utilization, and stability of school assignment. The person to conduct that analysis is the yet-to-be-hired new superintendent. So maybe we can ratchet down the fearmongering.

So that means crown will not result in elementary school boundary change?

We don't know what the scope of the Crown boundary study is yet, because the Board of Education has not voted on it yet. The Board of Education decides on the scope of the boundary study - i.e., which clusters/schools it will include.

Now, do I, personally, think that the scope of the Crown boundary study will include elementary schools? No, I don't. Even without elementary schools, the Crown boundary study will be huge. But I am not on the board of Education!

I guess that’s good as I’m hoping to get at least some stability over the next decade.

Then you should vote for BOE members who value stability and proximity first, not BOE members who think diversity is the most important.

Sure, that’s how I voted. But that doesn’t change the fact that majority of this county voted Lynn Harris so their property values can be increased

Or, y'know, because they thought she'd be a good representative on the Board of Education. And guess what? She has been!

Harris believes that children should lead and that students should roll dice every year like craps players in Vegas to determine which school they would attend. Those are insane ideas.

OK, so you have obviously not been paying any attention to the meetings since she's been on the board. If you had, you would regularly see her asking more and better questions than any other board member, representing constituents by following up on issues they're raising, and pushing central office staff to improve communications with school communities. She's been a model board member.

Yes, she has - and I didn't even vote for her! I'm very happy that she's on the BoE.

No, you're not, you're ginning up fear based on a lie.
