[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m fine with that, but I just think that’s a different discussion than whether to close SSIMS. And I blame Taylor for not being more clear with the new boundary options (E-G) in terms of explaining what happens in years 27-30. It’s not SSIMS parents fault that this is unclear. And it’s also unfair to blame them for advocating to keep their school open bc MCPS is rushing and not explaining how this will work. [/quote]

They are separate decisions, but it is 100000% the obligation of families who advocated to keep SSIMS open, to also advocate for current SSIMS neighborhoods to stay at SSIMS.  It is absolutely unacceptable for them to say "no, we want to keep this old falling-apart school because it's important to our community" and then step back and allow new families who do not want that school to be the ones to be sent there and deal with all the problems that SSIMS families claimed they were willing to deal with in order to "save our school."

That’s interesting.  We’re a Sligo Creek family so we are the close-in people for whom these are neighborhood schools, and we’re not getting zoned elsewhere as long as it is open.  I know Save Our SS Schools has had a lot of traction in the neighborhood.  I have no idea though about families at Rolling Terrace, Forest Knolls…. to what extent they have weighed in on this one way or another.[/quote]
