[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A big problem I see is Region 3 schools seem to have double to triple the number of split articulation schools compared to Region 1 schools. That should not happen. MCPS should employ split articulation in all regions or none. Region 3 schools are also overpopulated even with bloated #s listed at Wheaton. I’m so glad there is a new school to address the overcrowding - just need to find the balance so no school is 100%+ while another is 80% filled. There is construction everywhere in the county. No schools should be 100% full when you’ve just added a new school!

Also - be kind. It’s so easy. Hate reading the unsupportive messages. [/quote]

It's not a region 1 vs region 3 issue, it's a richer/west  vs DCC issue.  Except in option B, there's a ton of split articulation at Northwood, Einstein, and Blair (especially Northwood.)[/quote]

I don't have an issue with split articulation but boundaries make no sense and have students traveling much further and that's especially bad for lower income kids who don't have cars or easy access to transportation back and forth to school for clubs and sports.  In the DCC now kids go to different HS and they are split up.  The issue is the reduction in staffing is going to to lead to more inequities as without the staffing they will have to make reductions and what will those be?[/quote]
