[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think Cold spring will move to RPES and to RM. it will stay in Potomac, maybe split between Beverly farm and wayside, both have rooms for more students. It is assigned to Churchill for this round. I think it will remain that way.[/quote]

I see where you are coming from but Ritchie Park is about to lose the entire Fallsmead island and can't retain enough students to stay open if it does not absorb at least a significant portion of a neighboring school.  In this case, Cold Spring is the most logical one. [/quote]

What are you talking about? How is RPES losing Fallsmead island?[/quote]

The person almost certainly meant the Fallsgrove island. Which makes sense. That will mean RPES will lose a significant portion of its student body. [/quote]

One of the goals of the next boundary study is to resolve islands, this one would make a ton of geographical sense. Why does Fallsgrove hop over 2 ES's to get to RPES and then cross over 270 to get to JWMS and RM. Much of that neighborhood is under 2 miles to Crown which means they could be in the walk zone. [/quote]

Agreed. And I know Fallsgrove was being sent to Crown (or HS 27 @ Crown) in a couple of the initial options 1-4 so the county clearly notes the geographic proximity. The ES study would be the perfect time to resolve this. [/quote]

I agree with this but someone has to be pushed out right? Fallsgrove at Crown would put the school over capacity no, especially with RM IB ending and more Wootton kids going back to their home school. I think this is why Dufief is moving to QO?[/quote]

Exactly. For Fallsgrove to move into Wootton, DuFief and/or the northern portions of Fields Road would have to be moved out (to QO and GHS respectively). Additionally, the southern portion of Washington Grove (ie King Farm) would need to move into College Gardens and RM.

This would probably make the most sense but we’ll see if the county really wants to fight 20 communities at once. [/quote]
