Boundary Analysis Boondoggle?
While the concept of improving school building utilization by changing the service areas of neighboring schools makes sense, the random application of bussing to achieve perceived racial and socioeconomic diversity does not.
The new boundary maps, presented by MCPS consultant Flo Analytics, as part of their $1.3 million contract, demonstrates the extreme gerrymandering of high school service areas. See map option 3 at the 50 sec mark of this video - Boundary Analysis Boondoggle . It is unbelievable that this is where our tax dollars were spent.
In practice, to achieve "equity and balance," kids from Wheaton will be bussed to Walter Johnson or Woodward with the Walter Johnson and Woodward kids bussed to Silver Spring. This after the parents made major decisions to purchase homes in specific school districts.
The Flo Analytics map clearly fails to responsibly address the other stated priorities including “proximity” to students homes, “stability” by minimizing disruption to the students’ lives, or “fiscal responsibility” due to the excessive logistics associated with bussing costs.
We are disappointed that the Board of Education and County Council are focused on “diversity,” not education. The introductory video from School Superintendent Taylor lists diversity as the first priority. We thought that education was the first priority.
Our children must be prepared to compete in the real world on the global stage, not to be social justice warriors.
Please join us against the gerrymandering of school service areas and bussing to achieve questionable racial and socioeconomic diversity.
