[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There will be a boundary study that starts about 18 months before Crown is expected to open, to decide on the Crown boundaries.[/quote]

Isn't 18 months optimistic? I feel like even the new RM elementary school boundaries took longer than that... And there will be 10 times as many angry people when it comes to Crown.[/quote]

That means MCPS will start the boundary analysis in late 2024 or early 25 in order to start in Fall 26?  Yikes.  2022 seems more realistic unless MCPS is just railroading it through?  [b]But they'd still need to pick the teachers at least a year before to prepare, and planning curriculum / courses least a year before that to know what teachers they need.[/b]  2022 seems like the latest they can start on this?[/quote]

Would you clarify this comment a bit?

English teachers will teach English; math teachers will teach math; science teachers will teach science, and so on. The teachers will likely come from current MCPS high schools. They wouldn't need to re-invent the wheel just because it's a new school, right?

Or am I missing something obvious?

The principal at Bayard Rustin ES was announced a few months before it opened. She came from within MCPS. The teachers were then "hired," but most came from within MCPS.

Bayard Rustin ES has between 30 to 40 teachers, right?  The average HS has over a hundred.  If you remove a hundred teachers from the rest of MCPS, their replacements have to come form somewhere.  If there are a hundred high-quality HS teachers sitting around and just waiting for a job announcement, that's possible I guess?

There are absolutely 100+ HS teachers who will want to transfer to a brand new school.[/quote]
