[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow… a post on Educators Supporting Educators was just made about this:

New Boundary Study that will “help” with Wheaton’s overcrowding shows:

Option #1: Wheaton [...] would then be above 100% capacity.

Option #2: "All of the high schools would fall between 80% and 100% of enrollment capacity and the majority of the attendance zones would have contiguous boundaries, except for a small area of Wheaton’s attendance zone. "

Option #3: "Wheaton would be slightly above 100% of capacity."

Option #4: "Wheaton [...] would be at about 120% [of capacity]."

HOW IS THIS OK?!?![/quote]

It's not. It's sociopathic.[/quote]

It’s ok as it’s a less wealthy area and the goal is to fix the wealthy areas.  Dcc needs another school or two.  [/quote]

Agree that this seems to be a solution that should be explored, at least.  Are there vacant buildings that could be repurposed in the relevant area?[/quote]

MCPS owns several buildings that used to be schools that they now lease to private schools. For example, Randolph Jr High is now Charles E. Smith Day School. Why can’t the county kick out their tenants and use it for public school again? [/quote]

They can but it’s not big enough for a high school.   [/quote]
