[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they need this elementary school, then another one a few years down the road for White Flint etc etc[/quote]

They should first redraw the lines to fill the empty seats at Kensington Parkwood, North Chevy Chase, and Westbrook.[/quote]

You realize that KP only has empty seats because the school was bursting at the seams and the country recently finished a renovation. [/quote]

Yes, I do realize that. And my point was that I think they should use those empty seats, along with the already-planned new BCC/WJ school, before finding money to build yet another new WJ (or Woodward) school.[/quote]

Why can’t they just open up a COSA for Ashburton and Farmland kids to voluntarily go to K-P?  Why does there have to be such a drawn out boundary changing process?  Just ask if kids want to move and then let them move.  I’m sure there are people who would happily transfer to K-P. Parents could drive the kids.  [/quote]

Maybe ideas like this will be included in the countywide boundary analysis report.[/quote]

You mean to freely allow COSAs at underenrolled schools?   That would be a pretty big new burden on admin and could turn into a mess if projections for a particular grade level are off from one year to the next.  [/quote]

I don’t think it would be that hard and could alleviate overcrowding quickly rather than waiting for boundary studies, new buildings etc.  Ashburton has been overcrowded for YEARS.  Why not give them a break?[/quote]

THe MCPS powers that be decided long ago that Ashburton would be overcrowded for the duration.  At least they replaced the portables with a modular addition for the 5th Graders.[/quote]
