[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It makes sense to do these boundary studies with an eye towards the next one and the overall system goals for efficiency and utilization. The prior Superintendent (or really I think it was Jack Smith but maybe it was McKnight) decided to leave the ES boundaries out of the scope of these boundary studies. But because they left them out, MCPS is forced to plan for that study without saying any decisions have been made. Same with the closures. They don’t want the future closures to require changing HS boundaries right after changing them in these studies. So of course they are planning for them, but there are barriers to transparency because it’s not supposed to be part of this process. It’s a cluster, but one Taylor mostly inherited because of the limitations on the scope of Crown and Woodward (which was already decided when he came in) and the inability to delay Woodward and Crown openings and the fact that he didn’t get to do the longer term planning.

This is true. [/quote]

This is false. 
Saying this is true violates both MCPS policy FAA (boundary factors) and ABA (community engagement). The 4 middle schools didn’t have similar utilization in any option 1-4, A-H in 2025. Similar issue in Wheaton and any other MS, ES schools that had no notice until Feb 2026 with superintendent recommendation. MCPS can’t skip all “community engagement” at the Middle school level, and for ES communities, and use a justification of blaming a previous Superintendent that is silent on “make closure decisions while winking.”[/quote]
