 She may know which neighborhoods/clusters are going to be included in the boundary study, but no, nobody knows exactly which neighborhoods are going to Woodward.
She does. The Woodward construction is already well underway. There's a construction website if you are confused. Karimihas has been at MCPS for almost 25 years. She will be there after this superintendent and BOE. Administrators outlast the faces the public sees. She's got this all planned out. She won't tell you, but she knows. The BOE is and always is irrelevant to these decisions. BOE members do what they are told to do. Ha! Finally, someone points out the truth/basic reality of MCPS, and no one believes them. I agree with this poster, Karimihas knows exactly what will happen/who will attend Woodward - the official pricess is a fake dog and piny show. She won't tell you and trust me, her RBF is legendary - she won't give away a thing, not even a clue! |

Except it isn't true. WJ is 550 students over capacity, more than any other school. Blair, Einstein, Northwood, and Wheaton are close behind. |

Have you seen the portables at Einstein? Clearly the school is bursting at the seams. |

| It's not a competition as to which school is more overcrowded (this is how the MCPS win, pitting schools/parents against each other). They can BOTH be severely overcrowded. |

I believe it. Is she in Seth Adams' shop, or somewhere else in the MCPS bureaucracy? Seth is under her - Seth replaced another disaster, James Song. Adrienne has been around forever |

It's a DCC problem, so let them deal with it even if they have to bus those kids across the county. The bottom line is we only care about neighborhood schools when we're talking about our neighborhood anyway. |

Yes. There are ten significantly overcrowded high schools in MCPS. These are the 2021 numbers of students beyond capacity for each, which I'm sure will all have grown even larger when this year's official enrollment is recorded next week. And relief for the overcrowding is years away in each case: Walter Johnson (549 over capacity) [to be relieved by Woodward 2026] Montgomery Blair (319) [Northwood 2026] Clarksburg (283) [Damascus expansion 2026] Quince Orchard (278) [Crown 2027] Northwood (276) [Northwood 2026] Winston Churchill (264) [feasibility study proposed TBD] Albert Einstein (252) [Woodward/Northwood 2026] Northwest (233) [Crown 2027] Wheaton (141) [Woodward/Northwood 2026] Poolesville (102) [Poolesville expansion 2024] |

Nope, Seth is Adrienne's supervisor. He's director of the Department of Facilities Management, one part of which is the Division of Capital Planing/Real Estate, where Adrienne is the director. https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/directory/departments.aspx?processlevel=31110 |

What about RM? Portables there also. And with the new high density housing slated to go in at Twinbrook, that will be WAY over capacity in a few years also. |

RM is #11, at 93 overcapacity last year. Also will be relieved by Crown in 2027. |

Looks like the cell tower has been removed from the Woodward bleachers. Maybe you can enlighten everyone as to where it is going to go? |

Patently false at the high school level. |

| Poolesville is a toxic construction site. My child tells me the toilets hardly work, the water is brown, the school is in a cage and it is chaos especially when it rains. They do not even have a band room and barely a gym. That school is so sub-par and it stinks because those house some of the brightest students in the county. |

Your cluster's "needs" are not of greater value than any other cluster, or the system overall. A major reason for everything wrong with the system is the advocacy and carve outs for certain areas. Its the national political landscape in micro. |
