[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Superintendent's recommendation is up: http://gis.mcpsmd.org/boundarystudypdfs/Knolls_SupplementB.pdf[/quote]

That is a really confusing document regarding the MS issue because it says the recommendation is for MS articulation to “remain the same” for FKES and PCES.  So does that mean that the kids moving from FKES to PCES will articulate with Pine Crest as a whole (be re-assigned for MS too) or that the current assignments will be maintained?  And what about high school?  If I lived in the zones to be moved I’d be totally confused.[/quote]

I don't think it's confusing. This is the text:
"With respect to the middle school reassignment, my recommendation is to maintain the current middle school assignments for Forest Knolls, Montgomery Knolls, and Pine Crest elementary schools."

The current middle school assignments are:
Forest Knolls-->SSIMS
Montgomery Knolls/Pine Crest-->Eastern

So those will not change.

The students in F3 and F4 will be rezoned from Forest Knolls to Montgomery Knolls/Pine Crest for elementary school. No other rezoning will occur. Simple. [/quote]

I understand that interpretation, but to me, if the current MS assignments stay the same, then the Pine Crest middle school assignment IS changing.  Because the F3 and F4 kids will be MK/PC kids, not FK kids.  So the MS assignment for PC is changing from Easter to split articulation to Eastern/SSIMS.  But I do think you are probably right about what the recommendation is.  I just think it's written poorly and so it's not entirely clear that is the intended meaning.[/quote]

This new map makes it clearer. You can see the SSIMS areas have a different fill pattern than the Eastern areas.
