What do you mean by different?


Wealth. A lot less of it.


Don’t turn on the new Woodward families when MCPS divided the schools and even the WJ cluster in an unexpected way. The way they split KP and GP puts all the single family homes in WJ rather than Woodward.


Is there a more close up map to show where gp and kp split?


GPES has many multi family houses still going to WJ. The Parkside condos, stoneybrook, apts near Grosvenor.

The islands from GPES that didn’t get WJ make complete sense. They should go to Woodward. One is directly next to Woodward.

Option B was the right call.

They will do elementary boundary soon to mitigate some of the split articulation issues. KPES is under capacity and Ashburton is over capacity. It will get resolved.

Looks like all the Option B signs on Strathmore worked.


They were desperate to avoid Woodward.

I won't celebrate yet. MCPS may not ceoncentrate poverty in Woodward and make both schools more similar in final approval. It will depend on how hard Old Farm/North FArm and Luxmanor area lobbies.


As they should have been desperate to avoid Woodward. Fashion design? It grabs from Wheaton Woods now too. No thank you

Attention will be on Wootton. This Woodward rec is done deal.

Note that Taylor only submitted this rec for Woodward. In the Crown study he submitted a recommendation plus an alternative.


Board does not have to go with recommendation. They can modify it. They did modify recommendation for RM #5 ES boundary. It's not done deal.


It’s over. You’re grasping at straws. Just apply to WJ humanities magnet if you don’t like Woodward video game development program.


Nothing is over till final decision. If Luxmanor/Old Farm/North FARM don't lobby then they get what they deserved.

The BOE members can if they want to not appear completely useless stand up bravely against racial segregation by moving Viers Mill ES to WJ.


You lost credibility there. VM “improved” from Wheaton to Woodward too. You don’t see VM clamoring for WJ. GPE and KPE keeps status quo for its core.


I am from VM and prefer WJ.



Should have made some road signs then. Too bad. Too late.

Farmland and luxmanor are supposed to argue that they “deserve” less poor kids in their school? Yea, that argument will go over really well. Not.


Farmland and luxmanor are supposed to argue that ceoncentrating poverty in one school when both are right next to each other is harlful for FARMS and NON-FARMS students.
