[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Increasing FARMS at Whitman by 3% is funny though....it's like they had to try something...[/quote]

Ridiculous to change two elementary school communities and move students out of walk zones for this very minimal increase that has no impact on the original focus of the boundary study. Option F does not make sense.[/quote]

Option F won't happen.[/quote]

They could easily do option F but switch the BCC and Whitman elementary schools back to where they are now, but still keep the east county benefits of option F.  As someone from Silver Spring I'm fine with that if it's what the school communities involved want.[/quote]

Agree. Would encourage west county folks to vote for F and if this is their sticking point to mention it. F is clearly the best option for east county with minimal negative impact on west county (IMO).[/quote]

I’m sorry but MCPS has been so horrible about taking feedback that I would personally never vote for F with a footnote hoping they make that minor, common sense adjustment. After the fiasco of what’s been going on with the regional plan, I just don’t trust them. My gut is if the majority vote for F, they will go forward with F as it is presented. I am not from Wood Acres or Bethesda Elementary, so not directly affected. But I’ve been around long enough to predict their actions and it is ridiculous that they would bus kids in a walk zone for no significant reason especially since all 6 other options do not, and are perfectly viable.

All other 6 options are viable for you, but they leave the highest FARMS schools overcrowded.[/quote]

The capacity for each high school for models a to g is:

BCC (89, 89, 89, 89, 90, 89, 89)
Blair (85, 78, 85, 85, 85, 85, 90)
Einstein (93, 93, 85, 93, 83, 82, 79)
WJ (72, 78, 70, 83, 71, 78, 71)
Kennedy (90, 90, 90, 83, 90, 90, 90)
Northwood (81, 91, 86, 81, 88, 89, 86)
Wheaton* (95, 95, 95, 95, 86, 95, 81, 95)
Whitman (83, 83, 83, 83, 83, 84, 83)
Woodward (80, 74, 81, 86, 81, 91, 81)

* added 500 seats to capacity[/quote]

You’ve been beating this drum for months. Plenty of Wheaton capacity under all options.

Also even your display above has too many options under Wheaton[/quote]

DP but I think you are agreeing with the PP.  All schools are under-capacity under all options.[/quote]
