[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be honest, I think this round is much better. I’m not saying there’s no articulation, but it’s definitely much less.[/quote]

I agree. The options in this round are way more reasonable. I hope they only fine tune these options and no surprises for next round. [/quote]

Agree very much overall this is much better than the first time. I remember the first set of options had quite a few one school to three or four split articulations. There were also some double splits with 3+ in one of the two splits. Very few islands that I could see in these whereas previously there were a ton around crown.

Things I’ve noticed in this set of options that could use fixing include;
- Ritchie Park elementary school would go to Frost and then RM and be the only school from frost going there
- I think one option has a ridiculously large and oddly shaped boundary for Churchill, which goes all the way up to near Darnestown meanwhile removing some pockets down nearby the school
- seems like a lot of split articulations in the Churchill Wootten and Richard Montgomery clusters at the middle school level when it seems like a lot of times the entire school could just stay together through the whole time. 
- there’s a little pocket that looks like it belongs at Wooton, but is at RM. I think I thought to myself if that’s the area that’s going to frost and then back to RM why not just send those people to Wootten[/quote]

How’d Ritchie Park think about staying entirely to Frost then Wootton, so (1) RM won’t be overutilized as the current RMIB students are not included in the calculation nor future projection; (2) that  Wayside and Potomac ES can stay unchanged? In this way you may get the broad support as Wayside and Potomac ES doesn’t need to fight each other?[/quote]

The only issue is that Churchill is overcrowded. They should’ve just combine the two studies and switch some Churchill students to Whitman then everyone is happy.

Yes I think the prior idea makes sense but this problem arises.

Agreed seems like areas near Montgomery Mall should go to WJ, especially with them leaving WJ under crowded and Avenel makes no sense when it should go to Whitman.[/quote]
