UMC DCC families need to brace up for some of their neighborhoods to get rezoned into Kennedy. How else would you get more UMC kids into Kennedy? You aren't going to bus kids from Whitman or Churchill all the way up there past all the other DCC schools.

How about the NEC? Where are the UMC kids going to come from when the poorest schools are in the eastern most corner.

The geography and concentration of poverty in the eastern areas makes this endeavor next to impossible.

Indeed, and the way they address that is by putting in magnet programs there, like the IB. There are four new ones, all concentrated in the eastern part, two right next to each other. But who knows how effective it will be.

John F. Kennedy HS 
Springbrook HS 
Watkins Mill HS [/quote]

This certainly has not been working. Kennedy is not attracting UMC kids. It is the least popular school in the DCC selection criteria. The only way to get UMC kids into DCC is with bussing and those kids would need to come from the UMC areas of the DCC. [/quote]

It hasn't happened yet.[/quote]

Exactly. This is literally the first fall that 8th graders could apply to the new Kennedy IB. [/quote]
