They knew this, they started making students in RCFES Spanish immersion program go to Westland MS unless SSI MS is your neighborhood MS, your neighborhood MS and magnet or choice programs.

Other way around. Spanish Immersion @ RCFES used to articulate, fully, to Westland MS...and then any Westland student could articulate to B-CC. That path, along with the full-immersion nature of the program, was why it consistently had the most applications & longest waitlist of any of the elementary Immersion programs.

The guaranteed path to B-CC may have been removed a bit before the articulation to Westland was geographically split. Perhaps with the opening of Silver Creek MS?

In any case, where it previously was the case that the default articulation was to the MS Spanish Immersion program at Westland (at least it was at a family's discretion, with a preponderance of RCFES immersion families choosing Westland), they shifted to a paradigm more based on home location than immersion cohort continuity, with many of those previously going to Westland then slated for SSIMS or the newer program at White Oak, without the other choices. Some who used to articulate to SSIMS were shifted to White Oak, as well.

Good thing that the community which fought so hard against inclusion in the DCC at its creation were relieved both by this and by the more recent boundary study options from the ignominy of undesirables infiltrating their HS

This is on MCPS and the county.

It’s a red herring. PL is a nonissue and Mcps was even involved in its design. Much safer than crossing huge roads like university or viers mill where other schools are located

Thomas Taylor will pluck any idea out of the air to justify doing whatever he wants.
