But RIGHT NOW is when they need to start allowing the kids to go to Dufief.  It is at 70% capacity.  Why do they need to wait unlit the expansion.  Supposedly the expansion is for Crown residents, NOT Rachel Carlson.  He is full of it saying it is for Carson.

Anyone that is not in the Lakelands and Kentlands walkable areas should have ALREADY been redistricted to Dufief.  If they are getting bussed in, send the busses to an under-capacity school.  I mean, I am not even from that area but this is so frustrating how ass-backwards this county looks.  This should have been dealt with this past summer.

And the key wording in the above is recommending the district "explore" additions  :roll: [/quote]

Would you prefer it if MCPS recommended something before studying it, or without studying it?

Also, Dufief was at 77% capacity last year, not 70%. Dufief would be at 100% capacity with 98 more students than they had last year. Rachel Carson had 958 students last year and was at 144% of capacity. If 98 students had transferred from Rachel Carson to Dufief last year, Rachel Carson would have been at 129% of capacity. Or maybe 196 (twice 98) students could have transferred from Rachel Carson to Dufief last year, putting Rachel Carson at 114% of capacity and Dufief at 123% of capacity. I don't think that simply rezoning (not redistricting) students from Rachel Carson to Dufief, as things are right now, is a very effective solution.
