[Anonymous]

Is this the week where they will choose the final options?

No. The Superintendent is expected to revise his recommendation today. Then the Board of Ed has a working session all day tomorrow, and will hold a final public hearing Thursday night.

I believe 11/27 is the deadline for making the final decision.

Is it just me, or is this a crazy plot twist?

Could you summarize the crazy plot twist, for those of us following at home, please?

Poor Twinbrook. It doesnt matter how many times and how vocally they state that they want to stay together, their community is being butchered by MCPS planners in both Sup #1 and #2 recommendations. To bus T5 to CGES would take no less than 30 min one way. It is literally the furthers zone out from the school.

I'm starting to get confused looking at all these different options and I think I stopped caring because my children won't be affected but the big thing I am seeing from the Sup's new recommendations are in all 3 options, Fallsgrove goes to RMES#5.

Am I reading those maps correctly?

I'm starting to think that it would be simpler to assign RM elementary students to an elementary school by lottery.

How many options are still in play? Are the first 8 still being considered?

That's up the Board. I know Hungerford and New Mark Commons wrote to the Board over the weekend throwing their weight behind updated Option 8, Option 7, and an adjusted BOE Alternative #2 (the original Hungerford proposal with some tweaks).

But the Superintendent's letter today says "At this juncture, I recommend that the Board focus its discussion on the three alternatives it approved on November 2, 2017, and the three options that I submit pursuant to the Board’s November 2, 2017, resolution."

If the original 8 were based on bad data, wouldn't the BOE's 3 alternatives (which I believe used data from the original 8) also be based on bad data?

I can't believe Alt#1 is still on the table. Most of the ESs would be completely fractured, especially TB.

So now RP gets a FARMS rate of 40% because New Mark got mad that the new school would have a high FARMS rate? This makes no sense.

Maybe the superintendent picked crazy recommendations so the BOE will have to go it on their own, and then it won't be his fault. Because you know some people are going to be unhappy no matter what.
