Although FWIW I think it's the other way around with MS/HS... the middle school and high school assignments will be locked in after the current boundary study, which will seriously constrain how the elementary school boundaries get redrawn if they want to avoid split articulation, but it does mean that whatever gets decided on MS/HS boundaries now will stay the same.  It's dumb that they're not being done simultaneously though, which makes far more sense.[/quote]

Oh interesting. I was under the impression that they were currently determining which ES matriculate into each HS/MS, but if they move your kid to a new ES during the later boundary study then you could theoretically end up in an entirely different set of schools. But I don’t really know much about this since there has been so little info shared. [/quote]

DP. No, the new ES study would only change ES assignments.[/quote]

If you get moved from SCES to ESS, how does that not change MS and HS assignments?[/quote]

Or are we expecting this to result in more split articulations than before?[/quote]

Yes, doing the elementary boundary study separately from the MS/HS boundary study will likely lead to more split articulation.  Just like in this current boundary study no one's elementary school assignment changes, in the next one no one's middle or high school assignment will change.  So if your house gets reassigned to ESS you will still keep whatever MS and HS assignment you get from this round.

That's more likely to mean that most or all of the southernmost SCES kids will get reassigned to Highland View rather than ESS (unless ESS and SCES have the same articulation under the new maps), but it could also mean split articulation from ESS.

How are we sure of this?  I live on this border and from an equity perspective, it makes sense to assign SCES kids to ESS, but potential split articulation is not good.[/quote]

It's just a guess on my part but Highland View seems to make most sense if you're trying to decrease split articulation.  But yeah, probably sending kids to ESS would be better for diversity and equity.  If they delayed finalizing the MS/HS boundary study and did ES at the same time then you could try to come up with the best plan on all fronts... but that would upset WJ parents so I assume it's not on the table.[/quote]

Plus many SCES kids are walkable to ESS, and it’s currently under capacity.

Ooooof what a mess[/quote]

This is a good point. They really should just open Woodward with current WJ and hold everything else to do at the same time, with the intention of filling in the new school then.

That's right, only address WJ's overcrowding. No one else matters. [/quote]
