[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone has a BCC boundary fetish.  :roll: [/quote]

Perhaps, but what they're saying is nevertheless true.[/quote]

BCC is fine with their kids sitting on a cell tower gas generator to watch lacrosse games. They will be perfect for Woodward.

If they live closer to Woodward they'd be Woodward kids not BCC kids.  We're all for a neighborhood schools right?[/quote]

The only part of the BCC zone that would be closer to Woodward than it is to BCC is the very northernmost bit, and that bit is actually closer to Einstein than it is to Woodward, or BCC.

I would think most of the Western third of Einstein's boundary is going to land at Woodward[/b] to help with overcrowding. BCC's recent addition probably reduced any overcrowding there for the time being but it's possible some minor changes to its northern boundary could indirectly help with overcrowding at other nearby schools. In the end, we really don't know how this will play out, but I don't think it's anything to stress about.[/quote]

But the problem with that is the westernmost part of Einstein's boundary is the Rock View area, and the Einstein walk zone covers most of that area. They're not going to reassign students who are walkers to become bus riders. They will likely reassign those who are already bus riders to Einstein instead.[/quote]
I would think Rock View is the only Einstein feeder not a candidate to be rezoned to Woodward. It will be interesting to see which of the 4 other feeders will get rezoned, there are different arguments for all of them. To me if there is real determination to ensure the makeup of Woodward is more diverse, [b]Highland ES will probably be a top candidate, although some of their students are in the walk zone for Einstein[/b].[/quote]

DP. I think many Highland students would also be walkable to Wheaton HS, so if they're reassigned anywhere it might be there. So they're probably not getting bussed to Woodward either.[/quote]

They could zone Wheaton feeders to Woodward, since they are the most convenient, and then maybe move Highland to Wheaton? Who knows? They do seem focused on increasing overall space in the DCC and using the flexibility of the consortium to even out enrollment across schools. [/quote]
