[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The Farmland/Luxmanor crew worried about their property values only because their kids will be going to a high school where 30% of the kids are poor or may not come from a native English home. They view 20% as acceptable by drawing an arbitrary line. There are no published academic studies that reflect that standard. None of the MCPS options resulted in 20% Farms at Woodward and WJ.

BOE should approve the recommendation and focus on things that matter. [/quote][/b]

Yeah, only Farmland/Luxmanor families care about property values. You, on the other hand, care what is right. Please. WJ-zoned property owners are already on the real estate forum discussing and celebrating how their property value will jump as a result of the recommendation.

All seven options were to leave Woodward with higher FARMS than WJ. It is to be expected since NBMS (closer to WJ) has lower FARMS than Tilden (closer to Woodward). But Taylor made this much worse - he picked the worst option from the FARMS divide point of view and made it even deeper. He added two ES with high FARMS to Woodward while leaving WJ with mostly NBMS and only at 77% capacity. That is why Farmland/Luxmanor families are upset and not because some arbitrary FARMS line.[/quote]

The Delta would be about 3% less FARMS at Woodward. Not worth the change.org petition  [/quote]
