[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the four factors for boundary changes is stability of assignment. Without some overwhelming reason, MCPS isn't going to drag other cluster boundaries into the Woodward discussion. So far, no one has offered that overwhelming reason. [b]It's just WJ and the DCC.

Someday the BoE may get around to a county-wide reset, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards just yet.[/quote]

And we're back to the land of Oz, where the Wizard will make it all better.  Don't look behind the curtain!

DCC Dorothy's going to have to save herself.[/quote]

That can mean any number of things. For example, they can help the DCC by making room at schools adjacent to Woodward and shifting kids from the east side of those schools' boundaries into the schools adjacent to Woodward etc. It's subject to interpretation. [/quote]

What it certainly means is that MCPS is currently planning to include the following clusters in the boundary study:

1. WJ
2. the DCC

and currently planning not to include the following clusters in the boundary study:

1. all of the other clusters in MCPS.[/quote]

Yes, Woodward will impact the adjacent schools like WJ, Einstein, Wheaton and BCC.[/quote]

No. WJ is WJ. Einstein and Wheaton are in the DCC. In contrast, B-CC is neither WJ, nor in the DCC; B-CC is B-CC. Therefore, MCPS is currently planning to NOT include B-CC in the Woodward boundary study. [/quote]

No matter how much sense ut makes to adjust the nearby boundaries, and no matter how easily subject to change the current stance expressed in the CIP, the moneyed interests will exert their influence to keep boundary-related relief for the DCC minimized, preserving their own interests, as influenced by their prejudices.

I don’t really understand that word salad, but what are these moneyed interests that desperately want some BCC kids sent to Woodward? Why would well heeled parents of kids at BCC want their kids sent to another HS that is further away? Are are you saying that the WJ parents will be insistent that BCC be included so that Woodward can just be a Bethesda school? BCCs feeders are no closer to Woodward than the feeders from Einstein and Wheaton that are the prime candidates to be moved, so I am failing to understand the point you’re trying to make.  [/quote]
