Mark may have actually hurt WG cause by pushing it too much, but Mayor lives in B5 and many parents in B5 wants to not change schools. Political pressure may be too much here for Alternative A.

Alternative A is the only option which protects Woodley Gardens. That's why.

And why will BOE will care about Rockville politicians, specially if it results in keeping CG at 100% with 80-90 townhouses coming in CG and also housing turnover being a factor?

Look at the size of B2 compared to CG1, B1, TB1? Remove the RP2 label and blend it with B2 and it still won’t be the size of CG1 or TB1. Because RP2 SHOULD be part of B2 walkable area.

So why not remove parts or cut up parts of CG1 to another school? A part of B1 or T1. It is absolutely no different.

RP2 woulda shoulda coulda be part of B2. It is not. No need to bend logic here. RP2 is currently part of RPES community and there is no school in the middle of RP2. They are not similar to B1 or T1. RP2 can continue going to RPES like nothing happened.

Since GC3 wants to stay at GC so badly but other GC communities think they are irrationally selfish, what don't CG4 ask to be bused to RM#5 and letCG3 or even RP5 to attend CG?

The BOE could care less about what Rockville politicians want. They have no power.

No one wants to get bussed there for RP to help them. TB said no thanks and RP2 wants to walk to new school. And by bussing kids in to RP, moves other kids further too. You keep saying others are only focusing on proximity but that seems to be because it is the highest priority for everyone. FARMS and non FARMS families. If TB wants to stay local then RP2 should be allowed too.

Why do you keep making things up?

And people in RP2 (not other zones) will hold ill feelings towards Fireside for removing them from their new neighborhood school they should be walking to. If it wasn’t for Fireside, they would be walking to new school. Trust me. People are very aware why that section is carved out.

Believe me, nobody is going to outcast RP2 for going to RPES. You should stop seeing things.

You are being sore for no reason here. MCPS picked CG3 to move out because it was the most logical choice. Why would anyone move CG4 which is far away from Beall?

D has CG over capacity; creates an island for B5; and TB loses Title 1 status but still have very high FARMs. TB becomes the biggest loser here.

D doesn't have any school at 100%. Keeping a school above 70% intentionally just to give them title 1 is not a good idea when you can have 52% FARMs.

Many boundaries in MCPS have islands. It's better to avoid it, but those islands anyway get bus service. Narrowing the achievement gaps should be the focus.

? D has CG over capacity till 2021. Folks at TB think it's a good idea to keep TB with Title 1 status. Who are you to gainsay them? I guess you didn't read that report where it states that over 35% is not a good idea, but at least at 70% TB gets Title 1 status and all the services that go with it. 52% gets them zilch.

He is just supporting the option with the most community support. From the last meeting you hear loud and clear the rockville community wants option A or B (with only a small localized area in support of option E).

Sorry, I agree with the other poster. It is indeed a walkable section. It was said right from the start that RP2 and B2 were the walkable neighborhoods to the new school and off limits in the boundary changes. That is why they are both listed as 2 even though both aren't near their 1 sections. The first 4 options and then the next 2 all had RP2 going to RM5 as planned. RP2 knew this and had no complaints. None. They only starting moving RP2 back to RP when Hungerford complained about the FARMS rates that were ironically wrong for everyone and the super wanted to try a few things to balance the farms. Then instead of 12% FARMS rate that RP was supposed to have in options 1-6, the new numbers show it at 7.5% and some people like you PP began over focusing on. There are no sections to bring to RP unless it is far away to bring higher FARMS. But now moving RP2 back in is wrong. They need to walk. Bus Lincoln Park in. Bus apartment sections of Beall in that aren't walkable. But leave RP2 to walk to their new school like it was originally planned. It is like they are used as a pawn in a game. I know many people from that school and RP2/6 knew they were going from the time the school was being built and were happy.
