Who Gets The Crown? Inside MCPS’s Redistricting Debate
Montgomery County Public Schools is weighing sweeping changes to attendance boundaries — and families across the county are deeply divided. We break down the competing proposals, including plans to use Crown as a permanent high school or a temporary holding school while other campuses undergo major repairs.
