[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was the rationale for combining them? Seems odd to add 6 additional HS to the study given that several of the others are not close to the former. If anything they should just do a district wide boundary study and stop the games. Everyone knows it needs to be done. And the actually have a whole year or two to complete it and the boundary analysis to use as a starting basis.[/quote] District wide boundary would be a bit harder as MCPS is quite large. But, what they are proposing here is a good start. I'm actually impressed that they thought of this. I was thinking that they should expand the boundary study for Crown. Lower MoCo schools are already having their boundaries reassessed with the Woodward HS.[/quote] Harder, yes. Needed, Absolutely. The county looks completely different than it did 40-50 years ago. We have things like K-2 schools whereas all the others schools are K-5. We’ve got schools than only hold 350 ES students where the rest hold 600+. With got HS that has 1500 students and others with 3000. We have schools that are bursting at the seams and others that freely have space. Meanwhile,MCPS is also mandated to expand Pre-K. The piecemealing needs to stop. There needs to be a holistic look at things to come up with a plan that makes sense in a county wide level and takes into account areas of likely growth and where new school may be needed soon in the future. Layered on top of that should be CIP projects (planned and in work) so everyone can see the full impacts. Are a bunch of people going to be mad, sure. But as someone already stated, just rip the Band-aide off already. Approve the huge study, hire a consultant, create a timeline into Spring 2025 and then be done.[/quote] This boundary study is like about half of the county. Then Woodward is another large piece. So only a small part of this county is not in the boundary studies. They already got what they want.[/quote]
