[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They will change a few neighborhoods on the very edges of DCC, at most.  They will draw from the bulk of DCC [b] only through the magnet program, [/b]which will do just a little to help DCC overcrowding and likely take from among the more motivated DCC students.  Ws need not be concerned -- their needs will be met, and they won't have to worry about socioeconomic mixing.

Now the boundary analysis, on the other hand...nah -- that has enough over-focused political interest to burn itself up and get buried.  No real solutions for those most in need.[/quote]

What magnet program? [/quote]

Woodward is supposed to have a magnet program when it opens.  Regional, I think, maybe arts/performing arts?  They were going to be building that out while the displaced Northwood population resided there for 2 years after completion of phase 1.[/quote]

Nothing about a new magnet program has been decided.[/quote]

Sources tell me this won't happen.[/quote]

Good. Every available seat in the building is going to be needed f
or the WJ + DCC kids.[/quote]

Nah, just the nearby adjacent schools like WJ, Einstein, and BCC. By making room at these schools, they can shift their boundaries to create room at other adjacent DCC schools when needed.[/quote]

B-CC is not involved, even if you post a billion times on DCUM that is is.[/quote]

There is a "new school" listed as "programmed" in the CIPs for the WJ and BCC clusters called WJ/BCC elementary school presumably to shuffle around some ES school boundaries for those clusters. There is no date listed for it.[/quote]

Yes...and? That has nothing to do with Woodward. Look up Woodward in the same CIP and you'll see it is referenced in the WJ and DCC chapters only.[/quote]

Someone is trying to manifest BCC into Woodward, they've been doing it for years, and I honestly don't have any idea why.[/quote]

You do realize that an earlier CIP included Woodward to relieve overcrowding at BCC? And that parents went nuts and it was taken out of the next CIP?  And, that any future board can change what any prior board decided? Meaning, they can decide to put BCC back into Woodward, or any other high school, at any time[/quote]
