[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone in the know tell us if this is a done deal -- that Crown HS will be a holding school for Wootton starting 2027?

And what happens to the new regions? Is that going to be postponed, too?[/quote]

They are still insisting on being full steam ahead on the regional model, no matter how many people tell them to slow down.[/quote]

My understanding is that Sup needs a couple weeks to sort out whether Crown being a holding school can actually be feasible, due to some funding restrictions. So we the public get to wait and see what the outcome will be (not nice of them to leave us hanging).

How does Crown (possibly/likely) becoming a holding school affect regional model? It won't overall. MCPS still pushing forward. If Crown does become a holding school, MCPS will simply rework Region 5 program offerings, but won't rework anything else. They said this on one of their info presentations earlier this week.

[b]How does Crown becoming a holding school affect boundary study? I'd love to know. [/b]After all, one of the main reasons why a boundary study even started was because... Crown was going to open.

This is the most critical question left unanswered at every BOE and community engagement session MCPS has had. [/quote]

They have said that if Crown becomes a holding school that they would need to redo the scope and/or timeline of that boundary study.[/quote]

That answers nothing. Redo what specific parts of the boundaries? Only the boundaries directly related to Crown? Boundaries related to DHS too? They should give more information.

Agree- what does it mean for the regions? Why would those go forward without Crown? [/quote]

There's a scheduled discussion about this at Thursday evening's board meeting:

Proposed Change in Boundary Study Scope to Determine the Service Area for the new Crown High School and the Expansion of Damascus High School[/quote]

There's only 10 minutes on the agenda for this and it is paired with "Revised Boundary Study Scope to Determine the Service Area for the Reopening of Charles W. Woodward High School' so I doubt there is any substantive discussion planned. [/quote]

True, but it would still be helpful to hear about what changes they're planning to make, and if this means there will be another round of options released, and when.[/quote]
