Reject the Woodward boundary recommendation
Don’t open Woodward overcrowded
Dear Board Members,
I am a [parent/community member] in [neighborhood/school]. I urge you to reject the Superintendent’s recommendation for the Woodward boundary study.
This plan opens Woodward near capacity while keeping WJ significantly underutilized, leaving too little room for growth in a rapidly developing area. It also increases instability by creating additional split articulation patterns and more complex transitions for students and staff.
Please direct MCPS to produce a revised plan that better balances Policy FAA factors—utilization, stability, geography, and long-term planning—so Woodward truly solves overcrowding instead of inheriting it.
