[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be honest, I think this round is much better. I’m not saying there’s no articulation, but it’s definitely much less.[/quote]

I agree. The options in this round are way more reasonable. I hope they only fine tune these options and no surprises for next round. [/quote]

Agree very much overall this is much better than the first time. I remember the first set of options had quite a few one school to three or four split articulations. There were also some double splits with 3+ in one of the two splits. Very few islands that I could see in these whereas previously there were a ton around crown.

Things I’ve noticed in this set of options that could use fixing include;
- Ritchie Park elementary school would go to Frost and then RM and be the only school from frost going there
- I think one option has a ridiculously large and oddly shaped boundary for Churchill, which goes all the way up to near Darnestown meanwhile removing some pockets down nearby the school
- seems like a lot of split articulations in the Churchill Wootten and Richard Montgomery clusters at the middle school level when it seems like a lot of times the entire school could just stay together through the whole time. 
- there’s a little pocket that looks like it belongs at Wooton, but is at RM. I think I thought to myself if that’s the area that’s going to frost and then back to RM why not just send those people to Wootten[/quote]

How’d Ritchie Park think about staying entirely to Frost then Wootton, so (1) RM won’t be overutilized as the current RMIB students are not included in the calculation nor future projection; (2) that  Wayside and Potomac ES can stay unchanged? In this way you may get the broad support as Wayside and Potomac ES doesn’t need to fight each other?[/quote]
