But what unique needs do you have in mind? Other than wanting that everybody around you is also Hispanic. It seems that you are very happy with the current status, despite the fact that you have been one of the worst performing schools in the county and dropping. Is that what you want to preserve? If this was a great school as you portray it, other communities would be fighting over you and not trying to drop you like a hot potato.

After putting VM in WJ, WJ will have 20-25% hispanic there. It's pretty good number for anyone worrying about lack of Hispanic in WJ.

Not as good as it would be outnumbering the whites at new Woodward. I hope they keep us in Woodward with WW. Then you Farmland people can embrace our culture.

Your culture is great. It is VM 27% math proficiency rate that worries us.

Great, then you can help my kids with their competencia matemática. Uno dos tres...thanks woodward! VM for Woodward. Everyone write the Superintendent so the racist don't boot us because they think we are poor and stupid

You do sound stupid. But it is clear you are not a VM poster but that obnoxious WJ property value booster with no VM connections other than how to keep them out.

And you're the same Farmland person who states all VM and WW families on this message board that we are not real. Get over yourself Farmland. Sorry you don't like our views.

Many are real. Not you, though. And I am sure real Hispanics on this thread are not amused by you making a parody of their culture.

says the white guy trying to tell me, a hispanic, that I don't exist. you somehow know who is real throughout this entire conversation and just say someone is fake when you don't like what they say. you are the same farmland agitator who hates hispanics

I prefer Woodward, as in joining together with our schools, some very much like ours, some different, to create something new. I think this is much better for my kids than joining an existing established community that is nothing like ours and being expected to diversify it, at the expense our own comfort and culture. Why is that so difficult to understand? You may not agree, but why is it impossible to understand that we LIKE our economically and ethnically diverse community and want to preserve it.

We have always been split with the MSMC so it is exciting to see the possibility of remaining together at one middle school, Loiederman, that many VM families already attend because it is the closest. Losing Wheaton as a home school is a bummer, but if changes must be made, it's understandable. There's a huge difference in moving to a newly created community and being shoved into an existing one.

How do those families feel about Taylor’s recommendation for WJ? They are the families that should be asking questions about building utilization and demographics of their building, not Farmland/Luxmanor families.

I personally don't think boundary should be decided based on voting by all communities. BOE job is to make decision what's best over all by keeping negative and positive in mind. I can clearyl see positive in balancing FARMS and I see no negative in doing it when schools are less than than miles away. Now I may be missing something so stakeholders should present negative and positive both. Goal should be to get the best possible boundary keeping FAA policies in mind.

Fantastic post here. Bold part should be the goal for BOE, everything else is noise.

All the parents want stability and proximity. Of course that is what is easier for our families. Taylor just threw up his hands and said oh well I guess nobody wants to balance demographics. But our school system is not and should not be a direct democracy. These are complex issues and final.decisions should be made by people who are looking at the big picture, not based on squeaky wheels and provincialism. Our elected officials who are supposed to represent the people agreed on a policy that demands the consideration of demographics. There are good reasons for this that are based in real research involving real kids in Montgomery County.

Woodward is a completely NEW school. It belongs to VM just as much as WW, Luxmanor, Farmland, etc. What a great start to community building… I hope the parents of Woodward can move past this. Either way, the kids will be fine and find community for themselves.

Farmland and LCA being Farmland and LCA - wasn't it just a few years ago they were fighting against having the Rock Terrace school co-located with Tilden MS?

Yes. This is not a kind group of people.

New VM Parent here...on a school parent What's Ap chat we all have now heard what is going on this thread since it was sent around. We strongly support our kids going to Woodward and support the Superintendent's recommendation.

I m finding this whole thread utterly impossible to follow, in part because people can’t use quotes properly but also because people seem to be hinting at a lot of inside baseball. It’s very confusing for people who don’t follow all this as a micro level.

All taxpayers paid for Woodward and Crown. They don't "belong" to any one part of the county anymore than WJ does.

If you want Woodward, you all better email the BOE. Julie Yang from the BOE is actively working on a new plan with the Farmland people to even out the FARMS numbers.

Eh, don't believe this. Too risky...

She's checked out. Running for County Council. Better to just rubber stamp than rock the boat at this point.

+1. Yang was once an active BOE member. No longer. She will do whatever Taylor tells her to do.
