[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a poster on all these Woodward threads who is constantly insisting on redrawing the BCC boundaries to incorporate more of Silver Spring. Wonder where that poster lives?

They're not going to redistrict the northern part of the BCC catchment because that's where they just put the new BCC MS (Silver Creek) after an ugly debate about elementary assignments.[/quote]

Yes.  Frankly, I expect the plan for BCC is to move some students out (although which students is problematic) and then redistrict the proposed Westbard development, when it eventually is built, for Westbrook and Westland, eventually feeding to BCC, rather than Wood Acres, Pyle and Whitman.[/quote]

The plan for BCC is to build the addition.

BCC will continue to need 2 feeder middle schools. So you could surely put some more kids in Westbrook and Westland, but you can't put 2200 kids at Westland, which is why they built Silver Creek. Which is why Silver Creek will continue to feed to BCC. (In theory you could swap the entire Silver Creek catchment for TPMS or SSIMS, but then you've got all the elementaries to sort out in a catchment that already has split articulation.) Which is why they won't be able to put 500-1000 kids from Montgomery Blair in BCC. Which is why Woodward will be filled by the overcapacity populations from Walter Johnson PLUS some redistricting from multiple DCC schools. How MCPS factors that into the overall DCC scheme, I won't predict. But the rest of this scenario is fairly obvious.

Of course.  That relieves current overcrowding and ups capacity.  But they still need a plan to deal with Westbard, and Wood Acres and Pyle are packed, while Westbrook and Westland have capacity.  [/quote][/quote]

Agreed.  I'm not the one who suggested that Silver Creek be split from BCC - that was some other (deluded) poster.  I'm simply pointing out to that poster that moving kids into BCC is not as east as s/he appears to believe it is, because there are considerations on the west side of the catchment area as well as the east side.

Of course, given the loons pushing "Save Westbard," I have no doubt that my middle schooler will have graduated from BCC (and likely college) before any of those considerations really come into play.   [/quote]
