[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tonight is the second time I heard about Garrett Park likely being on the chopping block. Anyone else hear this?[/quote]

Who is proposing to close Garrett Park ES?[/quote]

Yep they are right on the line and good FARMS. redistricting them to einstein or wheaton is Low hanging fruit. Then of course the ES may close because everyone leaves town but that’s a problem for another day lol.[/quote]

My daughter lives in there and at Thanksgiving she said they are worried. Their current HS is very overcrowded too.[/quote]

MCPS will be reopening Woodward HS to relieve their current HS, among others. Garrett Park is likely to be reassigned there. Which is not the same thing as "being on the chopping block."[/quote]
Yeah, along with Luxmanor and Farmland. Middle school is still Tilden. [/quote]
And that was the plan long before any 'boundary studies' came in the picture![/quote]

After upcountry moves...GP and Kensington Parkwood  could shift easy to Einstein while OTES comes West to Woodward.  [/quote]

Yep that’s my guess.  Will it be enough to turn Einstein around?  Depends on how many parents bolt to privates I guess. [/quote]

Einstein non-FARMs neighborhoods also get shifted to the East under this plan.  So does that help Einstein?  Don’t know.  Seems like shifting around the deck chairs.  I think what they really would like to do is bus Whitman to Kennedy but they can’t get there directly so they have to move adjacent cluster to adjacent cluster until they get the right number of nonFARMs kids to the schools in need.[/quote]

Why would OTES go west to woodward? That doesn't make sense geographically, as you'd have the OTES kids driving past KP/GP area to get to woodward, and the GP/KP kids driving past OT to get to Einstein. It is the opposite of geographical sense - why not leave GP and OT where they are to avoid the meaningless extra distance? Similarly, why not send all of Tilden to Woodword and move Silver Creek to Einstein? [/quote]
