[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of people from Magruder there testifying.  Also a bunch from SSIMS.[/quote]

I wonder why MCPS did not point to the additional out-of-bounds immersion students to explain that SSIMS will actually still be around average size for MCPS middle schools?  It's a weird omission....[/quote]

The concerns expressed about RM's numbers offer an analogy.  The current attendance, overcapacity, reflects a relatively larger magnet population than the expected differential (small, with nearly as many leaving for other magnets as coming in) from home-catchment populations projected (themselves declining with the overall school-aged population trend) in the out year of the boundary study.  Yet some RM stakeholders (and some of those from Wootton grasping at straws) can't wrap their heads around that.

On the other hand, as another poster noted, there might be only French Immersion (if that) continuing at SSIMS, and of the 100-120 across three grades, there, many would come from the proposed home catchment.  They might get a bump of 30-50 students, at most, in that case.[/quote]
