But why would they do that, when BCC is not part of the Woodward plan, because the only schools in the plan are WJ and the DCC schools? |
The only DCC school remotely adjacent to BCC is Blair. Blair is overcrowded, but relieving the overcrowding there is the point of the expansion and renovation of Northwood. Einstein is also severely overcrowded, and moving kids out of BCC into Woodward does nothing to alleviate that overcrowding. |
Well, they could, sure. They could do lots of things. They could turn BCC into a charter school, even. But the BoE has explicitly said Woodward is to relieve overcrowding in WJ and the DCC. BCC isn't part of it. |
Stop trying to make fetch happen.

Not now....never say never. |
That's not true, because BCC and Einstein share a miles-long boundary line stretching from East-West Highway up to Kensington. |
The cell tower is going to be on the home team bleachers, not on the baseball field. |
It would make sense to relieve overcrowding from all sides when possible. |
Oddly, the MCPS CIP has BCC below capacity for the next decade or so. I imagine that's why the BoE isn't trying to "relieve overcrowding" there. Whereas today, WJ is more than 500 kids over and the DCC is around 1000 over. But don't let facts get in the way. |
And how would you relieve “overcrowding” at BCC by moving some of their students to Woodward while also taking students from the Einstein feeders? |
"I imagine that's why the BoE isn't trying to "relieve overcrowding" there." |
| I know three families who moved from the Wootton cluster to Urbana out of fear arising from Crown HS redistricting plans in the future. Is there something similar going on with Woodward? |
Not that I've seen. I'm in the part of WJ that'll likely go to Woodward. |
| Where do you think the Woodward students will be pulled from? Brace yourselves for a shock. |
WJ, Wheaton, and Einstein. That's it. |
