Apparently a poster on this thread offered a modification to it that addresses that. However, split articulation in that option remains an issue.

Solution may be to take the modication and then see how many split articulations can be eliminated. Avoid doing more than once split articuations for same set of kids.

It might be easier to just start with Option 1, which starts with zero split articulations

Exactly. Seems like RM parent spent a bit of time thinking about useful motivations to an existing option. I plan on doing that with Option 1. Crowdsourcing and brainstorming should lead to better options all around.

Einstein is overcrowded.

Einstein is overcrowded.

Under option 1 Einstein goes to 83% capacity. How many kids are at Wheaton Woods (ie would adding them bring Einstein to capacity)?

The suggestion was to shift K-P to Einstein.

Adding Wheaton Woods to Einstein would increase FARMS disparity. Hence the suggestion to send K-P to Einstein and WW to WJ

Under Option 1 Einstein would be 230 seats under capacity. K-P has 90-100 kids per grade so 360 to 400 high school kids across 4 grades. You'd have to split articulate K-P, which kind of makes sense since they have that island on Tuckerman that is directly adjacent to Woodward so it doesn't make sense to bus them to Einstein.

sorry, my mis-reading. But the point would stand. How many kids are at K-P and could they be added to Einstein (I'm just pondering the overcrowding).

ah, got it, thank you.

All comments submitted to MCPS should be public. They will hide the ball on responding to survey results. I expect censorship (similar to DCUM).

MCPS, BOE, Central office don't care.

Kensington P should be Einstein. Not WJ or BCC.

Its right by einstein so it makes no sense.

The K-P zone is a large area that includes an "island" directly adjacent to Woodward. I support moving the Kensington and Parkwood neighborhoods to Einstein, but only as long as the overall changes address the current overcrowding at Einstein and other DCC schools.
