[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, OP:  unless the superintendant does something unprescendented (right?  DCUM may know a counterexample), he is going to pick among proposed maps, not make another map.

While the upcoming countywide is unprescedented, generally the county tries to avoid redistricting more often than every few years; that is why a part of Clarksburg HS has been excluded from the SVHS reassignment.  If that logic holds, your next reassignment timeframe is Crown 10 year away.  I think you are OK, but obviously BOE is a natural disaster that cannot be 100% predicted.

The superintendent, who makes a recommendation, may ask for more options. And the Board of Education, which decides, may also ask for more options.

Also, the countywide boundary analysis is an analysis only. It will not result in any boundary changes. Boundary changes will require boundary studies like the current upcounty boundary study.

Also, no, there is not any part of Clarksburg HS that was excluded from the upcounty boundary study. The part of Clarksburg that is in the Damascus HS cluster was excluded because it's in the Damascus HS cluster, and the Damascus HS cluster is not part of the upcounty boundary study for Clarksburg HS-Northwest HS-Seneca Valley HS.[/quote]

There was a part excluded, Wims ES and maybe some surrounding area, because they just underwent reassignment after getting a new elementary.  You can look it up.

Sure, superintendant may, but have they ever?  If new maps are made, then whole new round of public feedbck is required, no?  Otherwise, that would be an autocratic process, with BOE coming up with some maps, public commenting, surveys going out, letters written, then maps go into trash, and whole new uncommented map involving previously unselected areas stamped into law.  BOE is crazy, but not that crazy, as far as I know.[/quote]

The part going to Damascus HS was excluded. And classes that had already been reassigned to a different school once were excluded. But Wims was not excluded.

Public feedback is required regardless.[/quote]
