[quote=Anonymous]high schools in this area are pretty close to each other, students could end up to any one of nearby schools if busing to <5 miles radius if not consider walkability, wonder what MCPS will do...

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]part of TB is walking distance to RM

[/quote]

Does MCPS provides bus to those parts or MCPS doesn't provide bus?[/quote]
BOE will put more weight on diversity over walking distance.

And agree with PP -- Wootton is not that far TB.

15min 4.2 miles from TBES to Wootton
9 min   2 miles from TBES to RM

BOE passed a resolution to put more weight on diversity than distance when looking at rezoning to a neighboring cluster.

Look at some of the zoning now.  Some of it makes no sense in terms of proximity, and there are a few "islands" where one neighborhood is zoned for one school, while the surrounding neighborhoods are zoned for another school.   IMO, if BOE really wants to even out FARMs in this area, this move would be a no-brainer.

TB parents didn't want their neighborhood split in the RMES#5 rezoning debate where a portion of the area would have been zoned for another ES. That's not what we are talking about here, which is zone the entire TBES to Wootton.  They could still attend JWMS but have split articulation after MS. They currently have split articulation all over MCPS.[/quote][/quote]
