[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They left Woodlin at Einstein as a new island.  That was to balance FARMS.

They can create islands for Wheaton Woods or Viers Mill to go to WJ and send all of Garrett Park to Woodward for the same reason.

Those articulation splits?  Prime candidates for rezoning with the upcoming elementary boundary study.

But see the dark black line?  The one separating regions?  This is among the places they went wrong, not allowing any swap of elementary catchments that would cross that line.  Nothing from WJ to Whitman, of course, or swaps with BCC (cue MC Hammer).  Totally unnecessary, as the line could have been drawn with the same high schools [i]after[/i] figuring out a better rezoning articulation.

Same shoot-yourself-in-the-foot constraint on the Crown study.  Not to mention the failure at any point to combine the studies to allow logical swaps between, say, Churchill and Whitman, or RM and Woodward, or...[/quote]

Switching 2 elmentary schools to WJ at the 11th hour to please Farmland families who bought in the wrong neighborhood is arbitrary and capricious. This faced a year of notice and comment. Everyone knew Woodward was taking on some DCC, not WJ[/quote]

This iteration was presented at the 11th hour. The original Option B had Viers Mill at Woodward. His recommendation added Wheaton Woods as well which drove up the utilization and FARM rates at Woodward higher.

But it solved issues at Wheaton. And Woodward is still 10% under capacity. You have your new construction and below county avg and region avg FARMS. You were always going to be Woodward
