[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well in that case MCPS is responsible for the misinformation, not so-called “SSIMS activists.”  The only version of E-G offered for feedback is the version showing ES students articulating to the non-SSIMS middle schools only.  [/quote]

The website by Flo Analytics only shows the maps for the versions of E-G with no SSIMS, but the effects tables show both the with-SSIMS and without-SSIMS assignments (basically keeping the middle school assignments in Silver Spring the same unless SSIMS closes at which point they get split to different schools.)

And even if the "Save our Silver Spring Schools" people didn't dig deep enough to notice that (which I doubt), they know perfectly well that the decision on closing SSIMS won't be made until 2027 at the earliest, so it is definitely misinformation to suggest that the decisions are being made now and people need to vote a certain way on boundary maps to make sure SSIMS stays open.

I don't interpret the with-SSIMS and without-SSIMS assignments to mean the same thing you do. Because the SSIMS closure would not happen until 2030 at the earliest, I interpret the with-SSIMS option to mean from 2027-2030 and then without-SSIMS option to mean once the school is closed. In other words, I don't think E-G show an option for keeping SSIMS open long-term. I think they show what would happen between when boundaries change and when SSIMS closes. Therefore, they still all show the eventual closure of SSIMS.[/quote]
