This is what I am saying about BFES.  When they increased the capacity, did they not have this same plan to redistrict if the other schools became over-crowded? In this case, a nearby school is already overcrowded.  Is it because RP is in a different cluster?  [b]Again, why not just take a neighborhood and redistrict that area to BFES or somewhere else?[/b]  They did years ago, and seems that they are willing to do it for Seneca Valley.  RP was renovated in 1997.  It probably won't get renovated/added new classrooms for a while.  CS ES will probably be renovated soon (since it never has been), and if the renovation includes increased capacity without redistricting, I think I will have to agree with the poster about the conspiracy theory.[/quote]

Maybe because there's no "just" about it.

Keep in mind that there are people in the Northwest zone who are already panicking about possibly someday maybe being moved to Seneca Valley.[/quote]

I don't think many parents would complain about being redistricted from the RM to either the Churchill or Wootton cluster, though. Personally, I would be thrilled.[/quote]

People in the Churchill or Wootton clusters might complain, though.

When Clarksburg High School was going to open, there were arguments about how geographic proximity and compactness were important for communities. Translation: we don't want people from Germantown at our high school.[/quote]

I mentioned in a previous post that my neighborhood (Fallsgrove) gets bused to RP even though it's closer to Lakewood, Fallsmead, and Stone Mill.  Re-districting would actually create more compactness and closer proximity of communities. Single family homes in the neighborhood sell for over $1M, so SES isn't a factor, either.[/quote]
