Wow.[/quote]

Yup and WJ is now at sub 80% capacity. Shows what they care about. [/quote]

Exactly. I am completely fine with all the options for my kid and how it affects my family (we're not zoned for Wheaton), but as a taxpayer this is absolutely maddening. Such a blatant disregard for fiscal responsibility in a time of massive fiscal uncertainty. MCPS administrators are like children who think money grows on trees. Then they will come crying to taxpayers begging them to pay more while thousands are out of work and have possibly left the region entirely.[/quote]

Or maybe lots of WHJ-zoned families will return to the public school, once the out of control overcrowding is finally fixed.  Many in my neighborhood go to private schools in order to avoid over-crowded WJ.  Now they will once again have reasonable access to their tax-funded local school.[/quote]

So in this scenario WJ is at capacity and Wheaton wildly overcrowded. Nice![/quote]
And BCC and Whitman are untouched. [/quote]

If they're untouched why are their utilization percentages changing?[/quote]

Because in the boundary scenario is making room for the programming changes - if whitman, bcc, einstein, northwood and blair are linked together from east to west in one program area, more kids from Einstein will come to BCC, presumably, especially if they axe Einstein's IB program (which is stupid, IMO, but seems like a done deal to equalize the number of chances by region that a kid has to go to an IB program).  [/quote]

How many slots will they open at each school?  Not enough.  [/quote]
