[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently some of the leadership of the group trying to save SSIMS is spreading misinformation about the boundary study and telling people they need to vote for options A-D in order to keep SSIMS open, and that voting for options E-G is a vote to support closure of SSiMS.  All this despite the fact that options A-D split up current SSIMS kids, and an amended version of E-G is the only way to keep current SSIMS kids together.

Please spread the word that this is untrue and that the survey on the boundary options is separate from the decision on whether or not to close SSIMS.

Ultimately this is MCPS's fault for not putting out clear information, but the SSIMS folks also need to take responsibility for fact-checking before they spread inaccurate information.[/quote]

Really sick of the people (or is it just one person who posts repeatedly??) criticizing "SSIMS activists" who are simply parents and community members who don't want the school closed down.  We get it; your kids are zoned for Sligo or whatever and you don't want them going to SSIMS under some new boundary plan if the school isn't closed. The fact of the matter is that options A-D assume that SSIMS will still exist, and the other options don't.  You are certainly free to advocate for and vote for the other boundary options.  Just as folks can vote for options A-D if they wish.

Also, remember that the new boundary options assuming a SSIMS closure were added by MCPS before the decision by the County Council to put the process on hold until at least 2027.  So don't be surprised to see yet more boundary options before this process is complete.[/quote]
