[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Wasn't the thing about Woodward reducing overcrowding in the DCC reduced to just whatever magnet program (arts?) that Woodward would have would draw from DCC as well as from other nearby areas?  A hundred students, maybe?  Some study that showed Northwood expansion would be enough?  No shift of DCC general catchments to Woodward[/b]?

The county really needs better growth policies and regular boundary studies with well-reasoned changes.  I'm not advocating gerrymandered, far-from-home school assignments, but the assumption of a particular home's/neighborhood's invariate school assignment has got to stop.  What terrible inefficiency it causes![/quote]

Not sure where you heard that, but no, the projected numbers do not show that at all. After Northwood's expansion, it will end up with ~400 available seats. But Blair will already be overcapacity by 600+, Einstein by 500+, and Wheaton by 400+. Kennedy will have filled up its recent addition and will be slightly overcapacity too. That is why Woodward is needed for the DCC schools as well as WJ.
