[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please repeat in detail the RM mom probówek option? Looking at the maps and trying to make sense of it so i can full out the survey.

Modify option 4: Orginally WJ in option 4 has 77% capacity and Wheaton has 120%

Put entire Garrett Park in Woodward.
[b]Put entire Viers Mill in WJ.[/b]

This will bring Wheaton below 100% and bring WJ closer to 100%. It will also balance the FARMS in Woodward and WJ instead of WJ becoming another Whitman.

Modifying option 4 solves capacity in all schools without creating huge gap in economic diversity between WJ and Woodward. WJ and Woodward are around half mile of each other so it won't create issue with travel time for anyone to go to one vs other.

But the eastern half of Viers Mill is within the Wheaton walk zone, so shouldn't be bussed to WJ.[/quote]

You cannot expect perfection.  There will always be some kids who can walk to one school but instead get bussed somewhere else.  [/quote]

But the whole point of option 4 is to prioritize proximity.[/quote]
I guess they could have left Wheaton HS even more overcrowded than they did in Option 4. Is that what you want?[/quote]

No one cares about wheaton or dcc.  Woodward was created for WJ.[/quote]

WJ parent here, and no it isn't.  Woodward was renovated and reopened  to relieve overcrowding at WJ and DCC, primarily Einstein.

The boundary assessment, along with the one for Crown, should, for all schools included:
-Relieve overcrowding (including accounting for all the building in the pipeline, so none of these schools is overcrowded in 5-7-10 years)
-Balance 
the 4 FAA priorities, not focusing on any one of them
-Get rid of split articulation where it  currently exists and not create more of it
-Balance school assignments so none have significant FARMs rates
-Create school assignments where kids who could walk to one school would not need to get bussed elsewhere

Woodward was a solution for WJ and DCC over crowding.  It was not just for WJ. Anyway, any resource is for entire MCPS and it does not belong to one or two schools.

Hopefully, we pick a good boundary.
