[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Essie McGuire kept leaning into the “foundation” metaphor during the CC presentation.  Well, you don’t build a foundation on a site you haven’t evaluated.  The boundary changes and reopening of Crown and Woodward are going to change things.  We need to postpone the regions until we know what this new landscape looks like.

Also, as others have said, be honest about the Maryland CTE requirements.  Lying doesn’t help anything.[/quote]

Yes, great analogy.

I do see that it raises the issue of whether you draw the boundaries factoring in the utilization that results from the current magnet setup (e.g. Blair gets a lot of students transferring in; Northwood doesn't), or what could happen in the future, but I think that's a solvable problem. Just allow some slack -- the new schools make that easier -- for the schools that currently have a lot of students transferring in. So for example, maybe Northwood gets 95% utilization, and Blair gets 90% -- based on home school zoning.[/quote]
