Thanks for the links.  So, the latest is that they are going to build a new school in July 2015?

But when was the last time MCPS did a boundary study without having to build new schools?  Aren't there some ESs that are undercapacity, and some that are over?  I would think rebalancing would help the district overall in terms of closing the achievement gap and reducing some of the larger class sizes.[/quote]

The point is that anything that would be a meaningful change would have everybody out on the streets with pitchforks (or in endless committee meetings with pitchforks), followed by lawsuits, followed by a do-over, followed by more endless committee meetings with pitchforks.

Here is the formal boundary study process, minus the pitchforks:

If you were MCPS, would you think that this was the best thing you could do with your limited resources?[/quote]
