[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]

Which area is getting added in this proposal to increase WJ from 77 to 84?[/quote]

The western half of Viers Mill ES.[/quote]

I wonder how splitting VMES like that would play into the elementary school study. Could they be sent to an under capacity Kensington Parkwood?[/quote]

I doubt it. VM is already way under capacity. I suspect they will rezone a section of Ashburton to KP (maybe the Grosvenor Park area). Ashburton is busting at the seams and the attendance zone borders KP [/quote]
