[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The split at wolftrap should not have been a priority as it was an almost even  split. But Kilmer needed help. [/quote]

The change to middle school AAP will help Kilmer and the capacity information being used at Kilmer is suspect at best.  Agree, the Wolftrap changes are unnecessary and should not occur.[/quote]

Maybe it is true that fixing the existing Wolftrap split should not have been as high of a priority as other factors since it wasn't as egregious of a split percentage, but what is being lost here is that Scenarios 1-3 made the split much worse. A huge portion of the Wolftrap students that are currently zoned for Kilmer were shifted to Thoreau, leaving the Kilmer group a much smaller percentage. Additional surrounding neighborhoods were shifted out of Marshall and into Madison. So the frustration isn't as much with the current situation (even though I personally think split feeders in any percentage are bad), but that scenarios 1-3 not only ignored the region's wishes to not have Wolftrap be a split feeder at all, and instead made it a worse split feeder.

I don’t think anyone is fighting to reinstate Scenario 3. It was ridiculous. The argument being made is that if the TOV can not be removed from Madison, then both Wolftrap and Westbriar should be split along the same line they’re currently split for high school, and that split should be implemented at the middle school level. So the existing split feeders will occur at middle school instead of high school. That is what’s being argued. [/quote]
