  • CR112-2019Public4
    CR112 Testimony For Howard County Public PIearing Feiming Chen, Ph.D. September 18, 2019 The Distance Principle and Social-Economic Integration Social-economlc balkanization of fche classrooms is a real problem and a threat to our democratic sociefcy, bufc the solutions (such as CR112 ) should not include the gerryma.n- de'ring of school districts. Because in school redisfcricting, we should follow a basic principle: Do not unnecessarily increase the distance for a student, to travel fcn a school, I call it the "distance principle" and it should be fche primary consideration in the redisfcricting process: a longer distance is warranted only when fchere is a capacifcy ufcilizafcion problGm or other immediate concorny. If we ignore the distance principle and generate gerrymandered school districfcs just for the sake of the social-economic integration ' imperativelt, then we will bring undue stress to couutleHS studenLs and parenfcs, a stresH caused by extensive travel time to school. When a student could go to a nearby school, but instead have to go to a school further away, this means less sleep time, longer travel time, worse traffic congestion, elevated traffic-induced anxiety, and more environmental pollution. Therefore, we should respect the disfcance prin- ciple in fche school redisfcrictmg process. With regards to the social-economic integration, I believe there are better ways to achieve it2. For example, if we can design a, better system that includes ranked school choices by parents^ afctractive magnet school programs, and student exchange programs, fchen we may achieve better social-ecnnomic integration in the classrooms more efficiently. In summary, it is a pitfall fco attempt the social-economic integration through the school redisfcricting and boundary review process, because ifc tends to violate the distance principle and results in gerrymandered school dis&ricfcs.

Maryland Survey Results Non-Prescription Opioids vs Heroin The Maryland Public Opinion Survey tracks changes in patterns of use, attitudes, and source of opioid misuse among people in Maryland who admit to using prescription and non-prescription opioids. The survey found that the older age group (50-64) almost completely misused non-prescription opioids for pain management, while the younger group (18-25) is misusing mainly to get high, experiment, and manage pain.

(2) Workto changethe MD Report Cardscore that serves as de facto redlining andfurther promotes de facto seeregation. i am always puzzled that a school with a student population that is 100% affluent is considered a better school.

  • Sayers, Margery Sent: Friday, September 20
    Sayers, Margery From: Melissa Kistler <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 20, 2019 9:48 AM To: CouncilMail; [email protected] Subject: CR112-2019 [Note: This email originated from outside of the organization. Please only click on links or attachments if you know the sender.] Hello- I am writing in opposition to CR112. I believe very strongly in ensuring students have an equitable education in the county. I also believe strongly in our elected officials doing their jobs and not overstepping boundaries. The Board of Education is responsible for drawing boundary lines and adhering to their policies to keep schools balanced. The county council is responsible for making legislation and to look at zoning to ensure balance. Both have failed, as Howard County does have SES imbalance in its schools. Here's the thing- it is not the County Council's job to dictate the BOE fixes this. It is the county council's job to legislate. Look at ensuring there are varied housing types zoned in different areas as the zoning board. Ensure development of homes that only those of higher SES are not built in the same areas. That is the job of the county council. The BOE can better redistrict if the council helps with fixing the infrastructure that has exacerbated the disparity seen. This is not something that will be fixed with a broad, generic resolution that really looks like a political move vs. a move to actually help the problem. Actions speak louder than words and CR112 is just words. If true balance is to be made as well, the BOE needs to go all in- not just switch 7,000 students- erase the lines and redo ALL of it.
