Really?  When drawing the boundary for a new school they want to make sure they are not creating a school that is entirely one category of student, if they have the option to avoid it.  It's not representative of the full local community.  Don't worry - there will be plenty of uproar in the next year or two by the people living near the school over people from "outside the neighborhood" coming in to go to school.  Now, people to the west of CT Ave won't be considered "outside the neighborhood," mind you, just those on the other side of the train tracks to the east of K'town. [/quote]

Just to clarify in case the poster was referring to the literal tracks, nothing east of the train tracks in Kensington or Silver Spring/Chevy Chase is in the BCC district. The area in Kensington and Silver Spring across the CSX track to the east goes to Newport Mill or Sligo and then Einstein, unless you include the Town of Kensington which goes to North Bethesda Middle.[/quote]
