MCPS Boundary Study Meeting Tonight (12/11) at Julius West @ 7pm

[Anonymous]

Ok MCPS parents (and kids!). Now is your opportunity to hear first hand what that boundary study may mean for you. Attend now to educate yourself and ask questions. Otherwise, don't complain about what comes after.

For parents who think boundary changes may just mean moving over from Churchill to WJ or WJ to BCC, you have your head in the sand. Everything is on the table. Come tonight and ask questions! If you think you may qualify to stay in your school after the boundary changes, ask about that! They are tightening up the COSA eligibility https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/departments/policy/191112%20Policy%20JEE%20draft%20for%20public%20comment.pdf?fbclid=IwAR2OHjPu582Qpae6GLCH59enak8MPUi-NIUaNm2edYtUAOW7Y5FYcd3DBG8:

Who will be affected at the high school level? Does it matter if you're a walker? How will public transportation play into it? What if you have an IEP? Ask your questions now and get involved, otherwise forever hold your peace.

Thanks for posting. I plan to get there. I hope there is an awesome turnout so that MCPS leadership knows that parents want to make their voices heard.

No, it really doesn't work that way.

Also, it's not a boundary study. (In MCPS, boundary studies are for the purpose of establishing school boundaries.) It's an analysis of school boundaries.

Thank you for clarifying that for everyone. Nonetheless, and semantics notwithstanding, this is YOUR time to learn first hand what this analysis of school boundaries mean to you. Ask your questions and decide for yourself how the potential changes may impact you. Don't make assumptions. Ask your questions now.

To the other PP, I do not know if there will be live streaming.

Reading if fundamental.

Here's what WXY is actually doing:

The team will produce three (3) boundary plan options. The boundary plan
options will include a synthesis of data analysis including analysis of existing
cluster boundaries and enrollment projections to school capacity and the
set of factors which inform the scenarios.

im confused.. so they're going to come up with boundary options and MCPS will choose one (I assume that MCPS isn't paying this firm 500k for nothing)... and theny they'll have to rearrange everything for Woodward, and then rearrange everything for Crown again? Doesn't make sense.

Will there be any MCPS leadership there? I went to one a few months ago, run by some consultant they hired, and no one from the Board of Ed was there, nor any high-ranking MCPS officials.

No. They are not going to come up with boundary options. This is not a boundary study. (In MCPS, "boundary study" means "the thing you do preparatory to changing school boundaries.") This is a comprehensive data analysis. In order to actually change boundaries, there will have to be boundary studies (i..e., the thing you do preparatory to changing school boundaries).

There will certainly be a boundary study (i.e., the thing you do preparatory to changing school boundaries) for Woodward HS, before it opens. There will also certainly be a boundary study (i.e., the thing you do preparatory to changing school boundaries) for Crown HS, before it opens.
