[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know the Moco Council and MCPS has a goal of tackling the W cluster high schools for equity.  they've been able to do it with Wooten and the boundary study.

Any thoughts around how they will use Blueprint for Maryland as leverage to make holistic changes to Whitman , Wj and Churchill?

I know many in these communities have been worried about the boundary study, but i think they should be more worried about the State coming with their equity goals[/quote]

WJ is a little bit of a question mark, but take a look at the new high school boundary and make your own determination. As for Churchill and Whitman, those two schools are as safe as they can be. No one is building high rises in those catchment areas, are they? When I look at the numbers of Whitman and Churchill students going to the current magnet programs, I see low numbers. That suggests that people are satisfied with their home schools and don't see a real need for their students to go elsewhere to get a good education. These two schools have been insulated from the regional program circus. That is money for you. I don't see how Taylor can do anything to these two clusters. In fact, he is lowering the class sizes in west county ESs, and raising them in the high-poverty Title 1 ES elsewhere in the county. So, there you go.[/quote]
