[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also just noticing it would be a 4-year time frame that students would need to be moved offsite. I suppose if the Takoma & Eastern magnets were moved elsewhere that would create space? Plus Sligo is already a little under capacity so Forest Knolls could go there..[/quote]

Not after they add Arcola to Sligo.[/quote]

Yes, they would need to not do that, but there is enough space at Odessa Shannon.[/quote]

But Arcola kids can’t go to OSMS because it’s Kennedy cluster and a different region than northwood. This is why tying their hands with these stupid regions is a mistake. [/quote]

I'm not sure even MCPS thinks that the regions are hard boundaries. At least, over in the Crown area, doesn't the proposed Option H send current Region 5 students to what would be a Region 4 school (Wootton--> Crown)?[/quote]

That would be a whole high school and its feeders switching regions (they would presumably make the Wootton feeders region 4 rather than 5.)

That's different from having an elementary school go to a middle school in one region and a high school in another.  MCPS has been giving Flo Analytics specific regional boundary lines (you can see them on the interactive boundary maps) and telling them they have to send the schools and streets within each region to a MS and HS in that region.

I hope they change their mind on this and are willing to be more flexible, because it would indeed absolutely make sense to keep the SS/TP middle school assignments as-is for the next few years until some final decisions are made.  But I'm worried they won't.[/quote]
