There are currently 2 boundary studies going on. We're at the very last step, the Superintendent has submitted his recommendations, the BOE / Superintendent have held multiple public meetings, and the BOE will be voting this Thursday on whether to approve or not.

Additionally, the Regional Programs was also recommended by the Superintendent, which would dissolve the high school consortiums and set up regional programs.

Thrilled that my neighborhood is now connected with Poolesville (instead of NWHS).

But what about the recommended middle school??

Kingsview? Fine with me. Just glad it's not Ridgeview.

More like what is the board thinking approving this? They think they can ask for guardrails, but once they approve, Taylor can do whatever he wants.

There is no vote on the regional programs.

There is, in a very general sense.

All power is turned over to the superintendent. The BOE will never discuss or vote on the regions or programs again. The superintendent doesn't even have to set up regions. He can do something completely different. He can set up 20 regions or none.

There isn't an active legal situation. They don't have a case.

Compare these Taylor scenarios for 2 school sites he wanted decommissioned. Taylor/MCPS decided to call Wootton a relocation, SSIMS a closure. No difference in what would happen to public school students currently in boundary. Politicians care about 1 site and not the other. Jawando quiet on 1 closure and not the other https://www.willjawando.com/news/ None of them care about the no Wootton overload for Churchill.

Process should have been the same for both sites. MCPS Taylor does not want to fund operating a 27th HS. 12/11/26 meeting had SSIMS closure as an action item that failed. Same meeting should have had a vote on closure of Wootton.

Denial is the first stage of acceptance. Its ok. You might need to hurry through the other ones and get to acceptance more quickly though for your own sanity.

Sorry, no, this analysis is dumb. SSIMS would have actually been shut down and its students and staff split to other existing schools. Wootton, its staff, and almost all of its students are moving from an old building to a vacant brand new building. Not sure how anyone can think these two things are the same?

SSIMS was also going to be used as a holding school. Exactly the same as the Wootton plan. Exactly.
