Option 1 from the initial options but moving Wheaton Woods to WJ or Woodward (ideally WJ)
https://sites.google.com/mcpsmd.net/boundarystudyoptions/home/woodward-initial-options

Use the current options. Which do you like in order for A-D

I don't really like any of them. I dislike D the least, followed by A, B and C which I dislike the most.

I prefer status quo too, but reality is change is coming. I dislike D the most. Why do you dislike it the least?

Because it doesn't leave 3 DCC schools overcrowded while WJ and Woodward are left 20% empty

Woodward is meant to solve WJ issues of over crowding. You need a buffer because very soon WJ and Woodward will be at capacity. The master plan has housing congregate on the Pike and throughout WJ. Just take a drive through and see the development going up. And maybe one day Lerner will put something at White Flint.

And it's silly to say DCC pays more taxes than the West side of the county, bc that's not true.

Option D is the worst

WJ taxpayers didn't pay for even half of Woodward. GMAFB and learn some basic math.

Show your math. And I don't mean Eureka place value discs and number bonds. Real math.

WJ definitely paid for Woodward. Not the DCC and many of whom don't pay any tax and most of whom receive benefits (see FARMS).

You're the one demanding to hoard a school paid for by 1 million people, ALL of whom pay taxes, for a community of 40000-60000. Yes, everyone pays property taxes either directly or indirectly.

Go lobby for your own new school. Clearly you are inept and were incapable. Us in the WJ area are far more clever and resourceful. Your only hope would be the govt granted lottery to maybe re zone you into Woodward or WJ. You want a handout . Standard FARMS DCC

By resourceful you mean good at taking resources meant for everyone and claiming them as your own

That's option D.

Please elaborate. This should be fun.

DCC and those who want option D take from those who pay more taxes (by virtue of being higher income you pay more tax), and claiming them as your own because your poor (yes, you and your neighbors don't make as much money... It's not just a lifestyle choice to live in a 1950s ranch or a 1960s era apt or next to MS13).

The county's own data clearly illustrates the poverty and thus lower income in the FARMS data for DCC. By virtue of being FARMS, at double and triple the rates of schools like WJ, BCC, Whitman, you inherently pay less income tax because your income is lower. Your landlords pay your property tax. Your personal share of that particular property tax is also lower because the property are worth less than those in WJ, etc

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zOiiclIJIYTpJu8QkeZtMYQ_ho2xGcx7/view

What does this have to do with Option D? What are your problems with it?

To be blunt, it has the highest FARMS rates for Woodward and WJ than the others. Woodward crosses the "20% tipping point" where the community is less served. We don't need another bad school

Moreover, it draws the map for areas that weren't meant to be included in the Woodward zone. By that I mean, current WJ has more development coming. Why push the limits to DCC more with this map? It will be a problem for WJ/Woodward espexially. County ignored this population boom in the rockville study for the elementary that became Bayard Rustin .

Thanks for highlighting that. Choosing Option D now.

You were going to anyway. Don't worry the rest of us are more resourceful to snuff it out.

I don't think you'll be able to convince even a single member of the BOE to think like you do, let alone five of them.

It's the superintendents proposal, dummy.

Also, you clearly don't articulate it with the above arguments. Despite them being the truth, you build the arguments in a far more "woke" manner so they can hang their hat on it and not worry about Karen like emails from you. And you work the council too. Everyone wants to be re- elected. Good luck to you. But D isn't going to win.

Let me guess - you'll frame it as being in the best interest of low income families to attend segregated schools, because you know what's best for them and don't need to make any actual efforts to talk to them.

Schools are aready segregated. Nothing changes

Agree with this. Also, Wheaton area has many illegals/undocumented who don't pay taxes but use our resources. To believe otherwise is just ignorant.

They pay taxes. Their rent includes property taxes, they pay sales tax and you can pay taxes undocumented via a tax id number.

Option D will cause more people to leave to private school. Pretend it isn't happening....

A few hundred left with the closing of the MVA. More will leave because of this. We will.

Ignoring all the "my taxes" wackos who don't understand the point of public education, trolls and racists chiming in here, the real problem is that MCPS has not asked anyone what they actually want. Whitman wants a high SES, super white school? Great. Let them have it. I am happy to have a racially and ethnically diverse (formerly DCC) school, with undocumented (tax-paying) immigrants and super cool, interesting special programs. Stop trying to distribute the special programs equally - give the poor schools the more interesting programs and let Whitman fund its own private theater programs and soccer teams with PTSA/Booster funds.

Agree. And don’t bother doing a region with DCC schools and Whitman. It’s silly and tone death. Some of us could live and go to Whitman and choose other areas to avoid that kind of school.

Yes, sure... Trust what the school board is saying who just asked for billions in tax revenue to repair buildings... It's not because of that! They have no self interest to preserve. Have you used your brain or do you trust everything they say?

How about everyone else?

Option 1 from the initial options but moving Wheaton Woods to WJ or Woodward (ideally WJ)

Use the current options. Which do you like in order for A-D

I don't really like any of them. I dislike D the least, followed by A, B and C which I dislike the most.

I prefer status quo too, but reality is change is coming. I dislike D the most. Why do you dislike it the least?

Because it doesn't leave 3 DCC schools overcrowded while WJ and Woodward are left 20% empty

Woodward is meant to solve WJ issues of over crowding. You need a buffer because very soon WJ and Woodward will be at capacity. The master plan has housing congregate on the Pike and throughout WJ. Just take a drive through and see the development going up. And maybe one day Lerner will put something at White Flint.

And it's silly to say DCC pays more taxes than the West side of the county, bc that's not true.

Option D is the worst

WJ taxpayers didn't pay for even half of Woodward. GMAFB and learn some basic math.

Show your math. And I don't mean Eureka place value discs and number bonds. Real math.

WJ definitely paid for Woodward. Not the DCC and many of whom don't pay any tax and most of whom receive benefits (see FARMS).

You're the one demanding to hoard a school paid for by 1 million people, ALL of whom pay taxes, for a community of 40000-60000. Yes, everyone pays property taxes either directly or indirectly.

Go lobby for your own new school. Clearly you are inept and were incapable. Us in the WJ area are far more clever and resourceful. Your only hope would be the govt granted lottery to maybe re zone you into Woodward or WJ. You want a handout . Standard FARMS DCC

By resourceful you mean good at taking resources meant for everyone and claiming them as your own

That's option D.

Please elaborate. This should be fun.

DCC and those who want option D take from those who pay more taxes (by virtue of being higher income you pay more tax), and claiming them as your own because your poor (yes, you and your neighbors don't make as much money... It's not just a lifestyle choice to live in a 1950s ranch or a 1960s era apt or next to MS13).

The county's own data clearly illustrates the poverty and thus lower income in the FARMS data for DCC. By virtue of being FARMS, at double and triple the rates of schools like WJ, BCC, Whitman, you inherently pay less income tax because your income is lower. Your landlords pay your property tax. Your personal share of that particular property tax is also lower because the property are worth less than those in WJ, etc

What does this have to do with Option D? What are your problems with it?

To be blunt, it has the highest FARMS rates for Woodward and WJ than the others. Woodward crosses the "20% tipping point" where the community is less served. We don't need another bad school

Moreover, it draws the map for areas that weren't meant to be included in the Woodward zone. By that I mean, current WJ has more development coming. Why push the limits to DCC more with this map? It will be a problem for WJ/Woodward espexially. County ignored this population boom in the rockville study for the elementary that became Bayard Rustin .

Agree with this. Also, Wheaton area has many illegals/undocumented who don't pay taxes but use our resources. To believe otherwise is just ignorant.

They pay taxes. Their rent includes property taxes, they pay sales tax and you can pay taxes undocumented via a tax id number.

Whatever you tell yourself to help you sleep at night. Gas light away

You’d know if you got out of your bubble.

Bc people who enter the country illegally are law abiding on tax policy lol

Do you seriously not know that undocumented folks generally pay far more in taxes than they ever get back?

They are so law abiding I'm sure they pay EXTRA in tax! And never expect any handouts (FARMS).
