[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WJ already did a site selection and rejected most of those sites:

Why are they wasting time doing this again?[/quote]

Here is the explanation from the CIP:

Planning Study: A Site Selection Committee was held in
spring 2018, to identify possible sites for a new elementary
school in the Walter Johnson Cluster. The projected space
deficits at the elementary school level in the cluster are not
sufficient to recommend a new elementary school for the
Walter Johnson Cluster at this time. In November 2018, the
Board of Education adopted a capacity study for the elementary
schools in the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Cluster. Given the
space deficits in the Walter Johnson Cluster, in November
2018 the Board of Education expanded the capacity study to
explore possible solutions that would include the elementary
schools in both the Walter Johnson and Bethesda-Chevy Chase
Clusters. The Board of Education also included a joint site
selection process for the two clusters. Once the capacity study
and site selection process are complete, a recommendation to
address the overutilization at the elementary school level for
both clusters will be included for consideration in the next
CIP. Once the capacity study is complete, a recommendation
to address the overutilization at the elementary school
level in both clusters will be included for consideration in the
next CIP. The revitalization/expansion project for Luxmanor
Elementary School includes additional capacity to allow
for the reassignment of students to address a portion of the
overutilization at the elementary school level in the Walter
Johnson Cluster. A boundary study will be considered once the
capacity study is complete in order to make holistic decisions
for all of the elementary schools in both the Walter Johnson
and Bethesda-Chevy Chase clusters.[/quote]

Basically they couldn't really justify building a whole new ES just within either cluster, but maybe they could if the school was intended to serve both clusters.[/quote]
