Dear Families,

We want to let you know that adjustments have been made to the draft boundary Scenario 4 to address under capacity at Lewis High School. In addition, capacity concerns at Parklawn Elementary School and Glasgow Middle School are being addressed at the direction of the School Board.

With that in mind, we invite you to attend a community meeting to learn about the adjustments to Scenario 4 and discuss how the potential changes would affect the Bren Mar Park, Parklawn, and Glasgow communities. We will also answer your questions.

Are they going to move Bren Mar Park Elementary to Key and Lewis?[/quote]
Bren Mar Park is K-5 so they’d only go to Lewis for high school (similar to what happens at Edison.) I’m wondering if they’re planning to offload Parklawn kids to Holmes/Annandale since those are the only schools mentioned. [/quote]

Where does Bren Mar Park go to middle school now? As you said, they could just address Lewis and not worry about Key (Bren Mar Park would stay at their current middle school and then go to Lewis). It would split them from their current middle school peers, something they were trying to avoid. Key is underutilized also so too bad they can't more kids there.

OK. Just trying to understand that email (assuming it is real). They mention fixing under capacity at Lewis and then addressing capacity concerns at Parklawn and Glasgow. Then in the second paragraph they mention Bren Mar Park. I was trying to make a connection between fixing the underutilization of Lewis and understanding the impacts at the three schools in the second paragraph with Bren Mar only mentioned in the second paragraph. Parklawn and Glasgow are much further from Lewis, so I was guessing that perhaps they were moving Bren Mar to Key and Lewis. I did not realize it is only K-5 so that wouldn't work.[/quote][/quote]

BMP goes to Holmes and then Edison. It’s the only Holmes feeder that doesn’t go to Annandale.  It was moved to Edison in 2011 to relieve overcrowding at Annandale.  Scenario 4 moves it back to Annandale to eliminate the split feeder at Holmes.  [/quote]

So any idea on how they are addressing Lewis? If they were pulling students from somewhere else, wouldn't they include them in this community meeting invitation to discuss the potential changes?[/quote]

I don’t want to comment further until the validity of this email is confirmed. [/quote]
