[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they go with option 3 and move the Chevy Chase students from, Bethesda Chevy Chase to Blair, with they rename Bethesda Chevy Chase to Bethesda?[/quote]

As someone who lives a third of a mile directly south of B-CC (and thus by Option 3 would have to send my kid by bus to Blair instead of them walking to B-CC), I appreciate this query. It would be quite cheeky to keep Chevy as part of the school’s name if MCPS forces most Chevy kids to bus six miles east! ;)[/quote]

I'm curious.  If you were zoned to Blair and Takoma, would you move out of Chevy Chase and somewhere closer to Blair?  Or, if you had known that Chevy Chase south of East West was zoned for Blair, would you have even bought in Chevy Chase to begin with?  If you were living in DC before, would you have even bothered to move out of DC?

DP.  I would rent an apartment in that area in Rosemary Hills that would get shipped to Whitman.[/quote]

But, those kids in that area are currently shipped to BCC, so Whitman is a way worse deal for them in Option 3.   And, TBH, I seriously doubt a lot of people in Chevy Chase are prepared to move out of a single family home and into a rental.  If that were the case, why would you not just rent in Bethesda N or W and go to BCC - similar quality of education but no commute?

Personally, I would either never move out of DC or move to Takoma Park.  I sent my kid to Takoma MS magnet, which has 25 seats reserved for Takoma MS in district students. Blair is an excellent HS.  Kids who aren't selected for the math/science magnet can opt into classes. There is CAP at Blair and plenty of APs.  There are other DCC program options.  I can buy in TkPk for much less than ChCh and renovate and still be close to a metro like I am in Bethesda.  I'm not sure what would attract me to begin with in ChCh in option 3. [/quote]

Ok but guess what? They may go poof with your set asides or relocate those programs or sunset countywide magnets entirely. This is the point. Everyone made choices and home purchases based on information at the time, and it’s very legitimate to feel feelings when big impactful changes are made. [/quote]
