If you want Woodward, you all better email the BOE. Julie Yang from the BOE is actively working on a new plan with the Farmland people to even out the FARMS numbers.

Eh, don't believe this. Too risky...

She's checked out. Running for County Council. Better to just rubber stamp than rock the boat at this point.

Farmland and LCA being Farmland and LCA - wasn't it just a few years ago they were fighting against having the Rock Terrace school co-located with Tilden MS?

How do those families feel about Taylor’s recommendation for WJ? They are the families that should be asking questions about building utilization and demographics of their building, not Farmland/Luxmanor families.

I personally don't think boundary should be decided based on voting by all communities. BOE job is to make decision what's best over all by keeping negative and positive in mind. I can clearyl see positive in balancing FARMS and I see no negative in doing it when schools are less than than miles away. Now I may be missing something so stakeholders should present negative and positive both. Goal should be to get the best possible boundary keeping FAA policies in mind.

Fantastic post here. Bold part should be the goal for BOE, everything else is noise.

I prefer Woodward, as in joining together with our schools, some very much like ours, some different, to create something new. I think this is much better for my kids than joining an existing established community that is nothing like ours and being expected to diversify it, at the expense our own comfort and culture. Why is that so difficult to understand? You may not agree, but why is it impossible to understand that we LIKE our economically and ethnically diverse community and want to preserve it.

We have always been split with the MSMC so it is exciting to see the possibility of remaining together at one middle school, Loiederman, that many VM families already attend because it is the closest. Losing Wheaton as a home school is a bummer, but if changes must be made, it's understandable. There's a huge difference in moving to a newly created community and being shoved into an existing one.

And Tilden community is trying to change that since there is another high FARMs ES school in play. It is true, very few non-VM posters here care about your needs.

But what unique needs do you have in mind? Other than wanting that everybody around you is also Hispanic. It seems that you are very happy with the current status, despite the fact that you have been one of the worst performing schools in the county and dropping. Is that what you want to preserve? If this was a great school as you portray it, other communities would be fighting over you and not trying to drop you like a hot potato.

After putting VM in WJ, WJ will have 20-25% hispanic there. It's pretty good number for anyone worrying about lack of Hispanic in WJ.

Not as good as it would be outnumbering the whites at new Woodward. I hope they keep us in Woodward with WW. Then you Farmland people can embrace our culture.

Your culture is great. It is VM 27% math proficiency rate that worries us.

Great, then you can help my kids with their competencia matemática. Uno dos tres...thanks woodward! VM for Woodward. Everyone write the Superintendent so the racist don't boot us because they think we are poor and stupid
