Where Baltimore County school boundary proposals went wrong

School redistricting can be one of a school board’s most contentious processes. The Baltimore County public school system is in the middle of readjusting elementary-school student assignments to middle schools in the central and eastern parts of the county. It’s heated, to say the least. The decisions made in school boundary changes are critical to the families and students impacted. These determinations can also influence property values and, consequently, the lives of many more people than the families directly redistricted.
