Could Churchill's boundary change due to Woodward?

No, Churchill is not part of the Woodward boundary study, but it is expected to be part of the Crown boundary study.

The current CIP includes other five high schools and Churchill is not one of them. Even if MCPS does include it, the worst case is that a small portion goes to Wootton. It’s not a big deal.

The lines between Churchill, Wootton, and RM could be redrawn.

The only part connecting to RM is Beverly farm ES and a big portion of it is in walking distance to Churchill.

The cluster boundary for all the clusters will probably change, and that includes adding some areas to the cluster, not just taking neighborhoods away.

I don’t see much change to Churchill and it’s already over capacity. It’s not on the Crown study plan yet either.

Being over capacity is a good reason for boundary changes, no?

As I said, from the current map, I only see a small portion goes to Wootton, which is not a big deal.

Think bigger. The whole northern and western sections could be part of a boundary change with NW, QO, Crown, and Wootton.

It could, but kids from Churchill needs to be bused much further to be redrawn and could got significant number of walkers to busers. Just from the map, it would seem to be the least impacted.

I have always said that Churchill cluster is pretty bullet proof when it comes to redistricting. Wootton and Whitman are adjacent. WJ is already overcrowded. Nowhere to send the Churchill kids and it is too over capacity to have incoming. We are protected, and people hate that lol.

Remember, demographics (diversity) is still the #1 factor when determining boundaries. Just because the pro-busers didn't succeed in mass-busing all at once, doesn't mean it won't happen over time. Smaller boundary studies is how they'll do it.
