+1 or how and with what money they are adding 500 seats to Wheaton

They should not call this community engagement if they aren't actually hearing from the community. They should just send out the powerpoint with the script they are READING instead of wasting people's time.[/quote]

I don't think they are adding 500 seats to Wheaton. They are just combining the existing Wheaton + Edison capacity and the projected Wheaton + Edison enrollment.[/quote]

No[/quote]

Where does it say anything about adding seats to Wheaton? The data table footnotes just say "Wheaton HS includes the capacity at Edison HS" and "Assumes 500 students attend Wheaton HS for CTE."[/quote]

You are putting a lot of trust in the consultants while ignoring one obvious fact - Wheaton HS is currently overcrowded. Why is that if there is all this space at Edison? Because there isn't. They haven't built it out yet and won't tell us how much that would cost or how long it would take. Or are they reducing capacity for the Edison programs to fit the Wheaton HS? They aren't saying and there is a reason for it - they know the capacity isn't currently there but it makes their job easier to pretend that it is.

For 2024-25, Wheaton HS had a capacity of 2251 and enrollment of 2794 https://gis.mcpsmd.org/cipmasterpdfs/MP26_Chapter4DCC.pdf

500 seats don't magically appear.[/quote]

Edison is a completely seperate school.[/quote]

But aren't there a significant number of students in the Wheaton-Edison partnership? "Students are Wheaton HS students and will go to Thomas Edison in their 11th and/or 12th grade years for part of the school day." My understanding is that program will continue after the new regional system starts.
