[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today at the BOE meeting, the central office stood behind the Superintendent’s recommendation.

However…to respond to some comments, they propose an alternative to the BOE that would cut Viers Mill Elementary in two for split articulation. The half in the walk zone to Wheaton would go to Wheaton. The other half would go to WJ. This is instead of all of VMES going to Woodward.

Thoughts?[/quote]

This compromise is certainly more balanced then Taylor's recommendation.[/quote]

I’m Woodward regardless. Is it? I guess I’m in favor of my school being less crowded but it looks like musical chairs.

WJ 77 to 84
Wheaton 86 to 93
Woodward 91 to 76

I don’t think balance is the right word here because it’s similar utilization rates just houses differently.[/quote]

FARMS balance[/quote]

WJ from 15.3 to 17.7
Wheaton from 59.2 to 58.7
Woodward from 35.7 to 32.1

Did it move the needle that much?

I agree it basically just moves around utilization rates without much change to farms. I guess a smidge but nothing meaningful worth breaking up communities over.[/quote]

So you are saying just send the whole VMES to WJ as the Option B Alternate recommended. More meaningful FARMS balance and  no breaking up communities.[/quote]

VM in Woodward creates a better FARMs balance between Woodward and Wheaton. More meaningful FARMs balance and no breaking up communities. [/quote]

I think there’s why they should go with what was recommended. There aren’t real pros to this, just enough cons to not make it worth it. [/quote]
