[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."

This is incorrect. The families advocating for saving the school are advocating for investments into the school and repairs. The school that just had a brand new gymnasium built.
