[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP is correct that what SSIMS supporters have posted is not "misinformation."

But also, it's certainly not a "given" that SSIMS boundaries will change if it stays open.[/quote]

SSIMS boundaries change dramatically if A-D are chosen-- about half the kids leave and are replaced with new kids from other schools.

If E-G are chosen, SSIMS kids stay together, only splitting if SSIMS actually closes.  You can't see it on the maps, but the effects tables make it clear that the pre-SSIMS closure/non-SSIMS closure options keep current SSIMS kids at SSIMS.[/quote]

Right, what I'm saying is that I don't think it's a "given" that if 1 of Option A-D is chosen for the high school boundaries, they'll go ahead and make the MS boundary changes associated with that option as well. Maybe I'm giving MCPS too much credit, but as I posted earlier, L Stewart and Taylor agreed that transferring kids to a school whose status is in limbo is not cool.[/quote]

The maps are for both MS & HS, not for HS only.

And it would be very hard to amend maps A-D to keep current MS boundaries in Silver Spring the same-- you have to make lots of changes at lots of middle schools to make it work.  Whereas options E-G need few or in some cases no tweaks to allow current MS boundaries to stay.[/quote]
