You know what’s out of order?
Building a school with money and kids you don’t have.

Doing a HS boundary and then an ES one.

Agree. And also, MCPS could have presented it as a modified recommendation. It didn't have to go through as a resolution. All signs point to H passing so it just really stinks for those kids impacted.

Yeah, it was a mistake to do Middle School / High School boundaries only and not touch ES boundaries when we have something like Rosemont being split into three pieces.

I assume the Stone Mill / Travilah Middle School assignments will be looked at again when they do the ES / MS boundary study.

Seriously you expect stonemill going to Hoover for a year or two and travilah to cabin John for a year or two and then one of them have to change school again?
Now north Potomac is split to three different middle schools and BOE doesn’t care.

I don’t think they’ll be changed again. They’re probably doing this explicitly because they want to fudge with the Stone Mill - Wayside and Travilah - Potomac ES boundaries eventually without changing middle school participation again. Ie they’re going to move parts of Wayside into SMES and Potomac into Travilah to relieve the over-crowding at Churchill and Bells Mill.

Yes I think this is likely part of it. As someone in the part of Wayside that’s closer to Churchill that most of Churchill cluster, I always assumed this would unfortunately happen which stinks for my kids who have friends in the few neighborhoods far out, but feels like Churchill was always too far north geographically which ironically happened when Wootton and its feeders were severely overcrowded in the 90s. The fact that the alternative recommendation D splits off about 20-25% of Potomac and Wayside to Wootton is I’m sure due to this.

It also could be that Dufief is closed and it’s kids added to one or both of Travilah and Stone Mill and moved from Frost for MS to Hoover and CJ. That’d also help better balance things.

It’s so weird that Hoover and CJMS are so close to each other yet Wootton just had Frost. So three MS for two high schools. Add in Julius West for RM and you’ve got four MS for 3 HS and two MS are totally separated from the rest of those other two clusters.

Yes, I hear you and this makes total sense. I’m sure it’s because of those Wootton numbers early on that neighborhoods like Potomac Glen got sent to Wayside and not Stone Mill. However, geographically it certainly seems that Potomac Glen should be Stone Mill/Wootton and not Wayside/Churchill.

Shouldn’t Glen be with Lakewood rather than stone mill? Some of their HOA goes to Lakewood.

Geographically what makes sense is Glen at Lakewood, as you said. Hunting Woods at Stone Mill. Potomac Oaks part of Lakewood at Travilah. Lakewood boundaries make zero sense.

Yes while I and most neighbors from the closer in areas hoped to maintain a things to keep the community I figured it’d be a challenge given geography.

It was gifted. They complained and Mcps listened and bumped other students to give them a brand new school.

No MCPS didn’t. It built a school that wasn’t needed and decided to close Wootton to cover up its mistake. Wootton wanted remediation of its current facility. Taylor actually proposed using Crown as a holding school first - why would he do that if he truly felt that Wootton deserved it over the need to renovate worse off buildings lime Magruder?

[Anonymous]

More prelims…

-Wootton v Magruder or Magruder v Wootton - no votes

-Magruder is going to Wootton as a holding school with Fallsmead and Lakewood AND Magruder is going to Crown as a holding school with Fields Road and Rosemont

Not sure how this is going to work out being in two places at once

A Wootton cluster parent who agrees! These are the most obnoxious entitled people.

Do you even live in MOCO? Kentlands is the only one of these schools even remotely walkable to crown (and it’s still not close by any means and requires seriously busy roads). Then one is in Potomac and two are right on the Rockville/Potomac border. So to answer your completely uninformed question, no.

No you little silly... we don't talk about Bruno(s). You have to forget you even know them.

I know you think you are clever, but no matter how many times you comment this it doesn’t get any funnier. It was a stupid question and I answered it accordingly.
