[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tonight's meeting at Ashburton on this issue had approximately 200 people there.  The consultant report identifying potential sites seemed to be a complete waste of time and money.

Bottom line - Rec to the Superintendent will be to put an addition on Westbrook to build it to the 740 student standard; rezone between Somerset and Westbrook; build another addition on Bethesda ES, and propose a new ES to serve overflow from both BCC and WJ clusters.

Honestly, I can't imagine the "Joint ES" situation working out very well, unless they redistribute a lot of kids like dominoes from Bethesda ES and throughout the whole WJ cluster.  [/quote]

How would Westbrook/Somerset be split?  Would Kenwood and Friendship Heights be rezoned to Westbrook?  I feel like all of Chevy Chase east of Wisconsin should go to Chevy Chase ES.  Has this been discussed?  [/quote]

I don't know about CCES, but keep your eyes open for a boundary study related to the Westbrook/Somerset changes coming soon.[/quote]

If they're first going to build out Westbrook to 740, that will take years, and the boundary study would be 18 months before the scheduled opening.[/quote]

At the meeting it seemed like the Westbrook/Somerset boundary change could go into effect fall 2020 or fall 2021.  They are just building out a 3 classroom shell.  But they don’t get the new CIP money until July 1 so unclear if they could do it in summer 2020 or if it would be summer 2021.[/quote]
