No, the proposed boundaries are not going to be presented till March during these meetings: http://gis.mcpsmd.org/boundarystudypdfs/SVHS_MarchFlyer.pdf

Why does Seneca Valley get to meet with Board of Ed to speak about their concerns and wants, but not the other 2 clusters? Seems a bit unfair to me.

ALL of the clusters get a meeting with the BoE. Look, the Sherwood Cluster had a meeting on February 6: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/boe/meetings/agenda/2019/2.6.19%20Sherwood%20Cluster%20Mtg%20Agenda.pdf

I'm in the Clarksburg cluster and haven't heard of such a meeting. I hope we get one before they provide the first set of recommendations in March.

You can look on the Board of Education calendar to find out when it is.

Each cluster gets a meeting with the BoE on a rotating basis. It does not happen every year for every cluster. It is on a rotating basis of every several years per cluster. RM cluster had theirs last May which I attended. Before you get upset that Clarksburg isn't getting a meeting before your boundary study starts just know that the one I attended was basically a big PR stunt with no actual substance discussed or change made based on anything from the meeting. So I wouldn't worry too much.

Re: any boundary study - there will be separate hearings just on your boundary change issue after the superintendent releases his recommendations (after you spend a ton of time as a community making recommendations that will get ignored by the superintendent and then ignored again by the BoE). All community members can attend and testify in front of the BoE then.

Thanks for clarifying the schedule, and I'm not surprised that it's a PR stunt.

There, now you don't need to worry that Seneca Valley is getting goodies and you're not and it's not fair.

Oh get over yourself. It would be unfair and you know it. There are 2 other clusters involved.

What do you guys think of the Gibbs elementary area regarding the redistricting? We will be so sad if we get moved to NW or SVHS we moved here just to escape those schools

You moved to Clarksburg so that your children wouldn't be zoned for Northwest or Seneca Valley when they get to high school? Really? Why? Why Clarksburg, and why the desire to "escape" Northwest and Seneca Valley?

^^^Sorry - most likely, you moved to *a different part of Germantown* so that your children wouldn't be zoned for Northwest or Seneca Valley when they get to high school.
