[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They will change a few neighborhoods on the very edges of DCC, at most.  They will draw from the bulk of DCC [b] only through the magnet program, [/b]which will do just a little to help DCC overcrowding and likely take from among the more motivated DCC students.  Ws need not be concerned -- their needs will be met, and they won't have to worry about socioeconomic mixing.

Now the boundary analysis, on the other hand...nah -- that has enough over-focused political interest to burn itself up and get buried.  No real solutions for those most in need.[/quote]

What magnet program? [/quote]

Woodward is supposed to have a magnet program when it opens.  Regional, I think, maybe arts/performing arts?  They were going to be building that out while the displaced Northwood population resided there for 2 years after completion of phase 1.[/quote]

Nothing about a new magnet program has been decided.[/quote]

Sources tell me this won't happen.[/quote]

Good. Every available seat in the building is going to be needed f
or the WJ + DCC kids.[/quote]

Nah, just the nearby adjacent schools like WJ, Einstein, and BCC. By making room at these schools, they can shift their boundaries to create room at other adjacent DCC schools when needed.[/quote]

B-CC is not involved, even if you post a billion times on DCUM that is is.[/quote]

There is a "new school" listed as "programmed" in the CIPs for the WJ and BCC clusters called WJ/BCC elementary school presumably to shuffle around some ES school boundaries for those clusters. There is no date listed for it.[/quote]

Yes...and? That has nothing to do with Woodward. Look up Woodward in the same CIP and you'll see it is referenced in the WJ and DCC chapters only.[/quote]

Someone is trying to manifest BCC into Woodward, they've been doing it for years, and I honestly don't have any idea why.[/quote]

Any competent BOE will adjust boundary of all adjacent HS's to Woodward. It will mainly help with overcrowding in DCC and WJ, but it's be will criminal if BOE does not use this time line to adjust boundaries of many others at the same time.

3 HS together will have lots of seats. All boundaries should be adjusted to make the best possible decision without having to bus kids long distance.[/quote]

ALL adjacent high schools? I went through a boundary study that only had 3 high schools. If you think MCPS has the capacity to do a boundary study with that many high schools, I don't know what to say. Not to mention, imagine that many high schools' worth of affluent, outraged parents and property owners.[/quote]

MCPS has a budget of $3 billion. Of course it has the capacity to do a boundary study of as many high schools as they want to. In fact they already spent multiple hundreds of thousands on a feasibility study of this very thing looking at the entire county to determine how boundaries might look if they took three different scenarios into account. This report was released during covid I believe.[/quote]

If you're talking about the boundary analysis, no, that did not "determine how boundaries might look." There were no new boundary maps proposed.[/quote]
