[quote=Anonymous]The BOE resolution that asked the school system to investigate reopening Woodward said they should do so "to address spaces issues at Walter Johnson HS and other high schools including: [BCC, Blair, Einstein, Kennedy, Northwood, Whitman, Wheaton]" see here: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/planning/workgroups.aspx

While there are neighborhoods right around Woodward where the odds of redistricting are particularly high, I wouldn't treat any zone border area as set in stone right now. There's a lot of rebalancing potentially needed to address capacity issues and new developments. Even after the planned expansion, BCC is expected to be at or over capacity again three years later. Same for Whitman. And that's probably using MoCo's usual assumptions about how building apartments doesn't add kids to neighboring schools.

The most recent documents posted are from last May and there they estimate the earliest date for Woodward opening as fall 2022, with redistricting studies occurring 18 months prior. A lot of uncertainty for the next five years.[/quote]
