[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why the discussion of current boundaries when the WJ boundary will definitely change in a couple of years, anyway.  It seems like they are looking for the best location, period.  And that will then be figured into any new HS boundary drawings.[/quote]

That's a good point.  The Grosvenor location still seems the smartest.  The Ayrlawn location is just ridiculous.  There's zero decent access -- its at the confluence of two dead-end streets and the existing YMCA summer camps result in traffic backed up around the block.  Plus it's smack-dab between Wyngate and Bradley Hills, which are already very close together.  We don't really need three elementary schools within what is about one square mile.  Add in the fact that the YMCA is currently providing after-care to half the kids at Wyngate (who won't fit in the onsite aftercare provider), and is one of the few summer camps that runs through the whole MCPS summer, its removal would really jam up a lot of families....I can't believe that MCPS is even considering this one.[/quote]

Nearby family with older teen now, but in the younger years that Y center was a true family neighborhood walkable gem!  Aftercare.  Summer camps, both as a camper and CIT.    All of the non-swimming programming for youth held there--there's no where at the "remodeled" Y for that to go.  A loss IMO.   [/quote]
