[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for those at the public meeting tonight arguing that if Modified Option H is implemented that Stone Mill and Travilah both be placed in Cabin John: why not also consider asking for both to be at Hoover? The schools are relatively comparable and Hoover is actually a bit closer to both Stone Mill and Travilah than Cabin John. If they did that they could then just keep Cold Spring at Cabin John, which isn’t too far from it.

Distance to CJMS for each school:

Cold Spring (2.7 mi) 
Stone Mill (7.6 mi) 
Travilah (8.3 mi)

Distance to Hoover for each:

Cold Spring (1.5 mi) 
Stone Mill (6.4 mi)
Travilah (7.1 mi)

Seems like could be another option that could sway the county given CJMS is more of a trek and would cause even longer bus times for two schools (SMES and Travilah) as opposed to for just one (Cold Spring).

I understand SMES families might want to keep their children at CJMS but just a consideration.

I think it was just to maintain stability for Stone Mill, at least one wouldn't change. Also not sure if Hoover had room for both. It made sense to swap Potomac ES and Travilah ES with Hoover from a capacity standpoint. But you're right- if the two schools are together that works too. It's when they are both individually siloed it's bad. [/quote]
