[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone just confirm- to the best of your knowledge they won’t redistrict Whitman to go to Woodward?[/quote]

Correct. MCPS has consistently stated for years now that it is reopening Woodward "to address the urgent space needs at the Downcounty Consortium high schools and Walter Johnson High School." Whereas Whitman just had an addition completed and is now under capacity, and is projected to remain so.[/quote]

Yes, but that doesn't mean that they're just going to bus kids across the DCC to Woodward. It means kids from adjacent boundaries will be rezoned for Woodward and as space propagates through adjacent zones it will make room at other DCC schools. As much as greater diversity would be beneficial especially with the W's, diverting more funds away from education into transportation seems counterproductive.[/quote]

Sure, but "kids from adjacent boundaries" includes DCC kids, namely those currently zoned to Wheaton and Einstein, both of which will be overcapacity. Northwood is also being rebuilt and gaining capacity of 1000 seats which will help relieve overcrowding at Blair. Kennedy is getting its own addition now.[/quote]
