Going back to option B means sending WW back to overcrowded Wheaton, right? And reversing a bunch of un-related changes in Silver Spring? That doesn't make any sense. Why would they propose that rather than just switching the boundaries between WJ and Woodward?


Easiest is to simply swap ES area in WJ and Woodward.


Farmland into Wheaton or Kennedy would have a greater balancing effect on FARMs. And they can show just how genuine their sentiments are.


Say it louder for the people in the back! Let’s bus the wealthy white families to Wheaton to satisfy their complaints.




Yes! Bus the whites to Kennedy and Wheaton...oh wait, isn't that what the regional program is? Put the IB and Math/Science/Engineering program in the ghetto....aka bus the high performing whites (and asian americans) to MS13 territory


Wheaton will continue to have their STEM magnet which is certainly not in the ghetto as you describe. It’s a popular program and part of why Wheaton is currently so overcrowded.


Wheaton gets the Edison seats/capacity too!

Enter: Dude who says the seats are phantom at Edison and not real for Wheaton. ::insert his/her typical rant::


You found me. Can you explain in clear terms how those 500 seats materialized? I've asked MCPS and here on DCUM and nobody can answer how they will continue to offer parttime Edison programs to students countywide and add 500 full time seats for resident Wheaton students to Edison which does not currently confer high school diplomas.


No, I cannot. Just that it's hope that they just plot the wheaton kids in there i guess with a traditional education? Think of it like an addition or portable classrooms to Wheaton high only it's at Edison which is very walkable from Wheaton?

WJ Cluster Reps sent email out last week saying they support original Option B. They say Wheaton Woods Elementary community also supports it and don't hear objection from Wheaton High PTA Cluster reps, but will not speak for them. I guess we will see at BOE testimony tmrw.

1) We are entitled to a FARMs rate that we are comfortable with.
2) Just because we didn’t advocate for “balance” in the past doesn’t mean we can’t advocate for it now.
3) Our property values are sacrosanct.

Yea, it's worth it to see the Deborah realtor and Diana PTA person heads spin around exorcist style over the decision


Have any of you spoken out your concerns publicly, with your name attached to it?


Why would I? I approve of the Superintendent's recommendation. Let them grasp and straws and ruin their reputation on their own. Besides, you can tell them the public sentiment from this board.


I am just looking to understand if anyone has shared a real refutation of their statements. There IS no public sentiment that I can find.


Other than this thread, no - no one is publicly disagreeing with them. And this thread seems to be at least one VM family and then at least one troll who is trying to start trouble. (I really don’t think that person is actually from a WJ family.)

Because WJ PTA is in charge?!?


They are a bunch of Karens. Wheaton isn't organized so they'll get steamrolled. Best advocacy effort would be to send some emails strongly supporting the superintendent's recommendation. Taylor was solving the over crowding at Wheaton, and Woodward wants to shove it back on Wheaton. Hilarious. These are the people who like sanctuary state and now they see realties on the ground. They're truly racists.


The Wheaton cluster PTA rep thinks that she is in charge. She’s a bully that’s unhappy the DCC is going away. She doesn’t even live in the new region with WJ and Woodward is trying to VM and WW families for her own agenda. Just got back and read her previous testimony to the BOE


DCC isn't going away. It's just expanding to Woodward where DCC families get to do fashion design and video game orchestra. Enjoy!


And they get to benefit from the brand new construction that is rightfully theirs as much as it is farmland. Farmland about to be FARMtastic
