It's a weird boundary because Northwood and Blair are so close to each other (10 blocks apart), so you have lots of houses which are considered to be in both schools' walk zones.

I have an idea.

Whitman and Churchill take 20% kids from high FARMS areas. 5% can be anyone and 15% has to be FARMS kids. That way idencity of FAMRS kids are protected becasue FARMS and non-FARMS kids are taking the bus together.

20% can be lottery. This way all issues are covered.


Likewise, 20% of Whitman kids are randomly chosen to go to Kennedy


This would help BOE’s goal of having enough AP kids in every school.


This is silly when not all schools have a lot of ap


right this creates more demand and helps those kids that don't have access


But, if the principal refuses to offer them, more kids go without.


then hire a teacher. MCPS cares about all kids, right, and has all the funding.

well the busing will certainly create demand for different classes at different schools.

no one likes option 3, it hurts kids by busing them long distance, it hurts after school program participation, it breaks up communities. ergo it is what MCPS will do.

We caa call it little magnet or sister school idea where 20% comes from high FARMS areas without forcing anyone.


I’m personally supportive of the magnet idea but what happens with the rest of the map?


It needs to be reworked.


any of the other options
