B-CC and Whitman are inside the Beltway.
Then BCC and Whitman are more downcounty than the DCC schools. Maybe we need to rethink this?
Blair, Northwood, and Einstein all have boundaries extending south inside the beltway, to or almost to the DC line.

If you want BCC and Whitman to form a ITBC (Inside The Beltway Consortium), you should suggest this to the Board of Education at the next public comment period.

What is with the fear of Woodward being part of the DCC? If you are zoned for the school you are guaranteed a spot, so it’s not like some Bethesda mom needs to be clutching her pearls that her kid is going to go from WJ to Kennedy.
So political. That’s why. If Woodward is in, why not BCC? Why not Whitman? And so on. It kind of seems like the programs are already hard to get into and students often end up at the home school. Why add more applicants?
The easy answer as to why not BCC or Whitman is that Woodward is opening with the stated objective of taking kids out of the DCC to relieve overcrowding. So if that school is taking kids from the DCC, it seems unfair that those kids are not only having to switch high schools but losing the benefits of being in the DCC. I know the Bethesda parents don’t believe us, but for many of us in the DCC this is a lose lose proposition.
If by dcc you mean the adjacent schools like WJ Einstein Wheaton and BCC then sure.
pf cpirse. that's just common sense

If you pay money to live somewhere where you don't have to mix with people from silver spring, making it so those kids can opt into their kid's schools would be counterproductive. Consortiums are a false choice for undesirable areas to keep up the perception they can opt out to a better also undesirable school. Not for better schools to have the unwashed masses shipped to them
More or less, we live in bounds for Blair. I think there may be some circumstances to choose elsewhere for example maybe Einstein if your kid was into performing arts. THe problem is Blair and Einstein are so overcrowded that nobody is getting in either place.

Stated goal is to help DCC with overcrowding. It can be done many ways. MCPS should find the best possible use of space keeping diversity of all schools( DCC, BCC, WJ, Whitman, Churchill, Woodward) in mind.
So now we’re also adding Churchill and Whitman to your fantasy?
Just do the whole county.
Why stop there? Remember that poster who was always ranting about rezoning MCPS students to PG?

Blair was inside the beltway until 1998. Then they built the new building on land just outside the beltway.
