The BOE DID vote for MS boundary changes that take effect for 6th and 7th graders in 2028. Do you see MSMC listed next to any school assignment on the “board adopted interactive map tool” or articulation charts?

I could see MCPS saying it's a program change, not a boundary change, and the BOE already authorized them to change secondary school programs (not just HS programs).
