[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

RMIB is not ending. It will shrink size by reducing like a total ~100 kids for all 4 grades once regional program fully rolls in. And Dufief stays with Wootton to move to Crown. [/quote]

But most of the kids will go back to their home school and some of the 100 kids per grade will be in bound RM kids who get priority.

I appreciate that Dufief is desperate to stay with Wootton after it threw the entire community under the bus, but the writing is on the wall.

At least parts of Dufief, if not the whole thing, will be at QO. Fallsgrove island will be at Crown. [/quote]

they just got QO under capacity, bud. Ya know, one of the main reasons for the boundary study? Have you seen the portable village back there? How again did DuFief throw the whole cluster under a bus? Or do we have to bring up that old thread and revisit?[/quote]
