[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe in the proposal, Wheaton Biomedical is also going away (moving to Kennedy.)[/quote]

Wheaton Biomedical needs to stay at Wheaton. Central office planners did not factor in considerations for building requirements for programs when they cut and pasted programs elsewhere. Wheaton's Biomedical program utilizes Edison's facilities (on the same campus as Wheaton) for the biomedical program. If it moves to Kennedy. MCPS will have to make building changes, which MCPS has said they aren't going to do. Given the decrepit state of out so many schools, there is no money for building changes.

I wish central office had done its homework.[/quote]

They hired an outside company out of state to do this.  [/quote]

They hired an outside company to do the boundary analysis, which hence didn’t factor in the local traffic, community cohesion, etc. Then they hired a local consult company to do the QA to community, which failed drastically so they fired the consultant company and decide to do QA themselves in the upcoming second round of boundary options. For the regional model, they didn’t hire any 3rd party company. They formulated a study team with steakholders (e.g., MCCPTA, MCEA, NEC and DCC representatives), but ignore all their inputs. I don’t see hiring a 3rd party professional can help any. For deaf ears and closed eyes, subject matter experts and local community concerns means nothing but junk for central office.[/quote]
