1 CAirpON: ThMem^

Dear Board of Education, I would like to bring an important geographical factor that has been continuously overlooked in the redistricting process thus far. The final plan sends the Pointers Run community polygons (64, 1064, 129, 1129)to Swansfield Elementary School. However, this creates a discontiguous attendance area for Swansfield. The polygons in question may appear close to polygons 135 and 1135 on a map (see below), but in fact the Middle Patuxent Environmental Area separates these neighborhoods with over 1000 acres of wooded, undeveloped land.

While the colored polygons on the map abut each other, it is not really a contiguous area as far as driving is concerned. The only way in or out of our neighborhood to get to Swansfield is at Grace Dr and Cedar Lane, which actually leads into the Clemens Crossing attendance area. If you were to drive from the center of our polygons to the East, you would see that you quickly leave the developed area and then drive several minutes along Grace Dr to Cedar Lane. At that point, you'd pass through many polygons assigned to Clemens Crossing, through many busy 4- way intersections, before reaching Swansfield. In contrast, leaving the Pointers Run neighborhood to the West would pass through one 4-way intersection and require just 2 turns before arriving at PRES. Along the way, you'd pass our community pool, multiple tot lots, and the route of the community July 4th parade.

This appears to be a clear violation of Policy 6010 Section IV.B. 2. b regarding community stability and contiguous neighborhoods. I sincerely hope you will consider re-examining the decision to move these polygons. The final few work sessions appeared very rushed, and it appears many similar issues have been raised with the final plan. I believe more time is needed to ensure the board members have accurate data and can fully discuss some of the severe ramifications of these decisions. Thank you for the continuing effort. We know this process has been long and difficult, but it's critical to get it right. Thousands of children's lives are being affected.

Sincerely, Polygon: 1064

Dear Board of Education Members,

We are thankful to BOEmembers for unanimously passinga motion to move Polygon 189 backto PRES.

Unfortunately, the BoE neglected to addressthe correction of moving Polygon 189 backfrom Lime Kiln to Clarksville Middle.

As it stands, we are less than 20 students proposed to go into Lime Kiln Middle.

Request: Please consider keeping Polygon 189 kids at the same schools as they are attending for the school year 2019- 20 and propose a motion to fix the oversight.

1. No adverse impact to CMS - Keeping Polygon 189 at the Clarksville Middle School will have no negative or adverse impacton any ofthe FARMor Capacitynumbers, aswe are lessthan 20 kidsgoing to Clarksville middle school. Our existing elementary population is also dispersed evenly K- 5 and will not cause disruption to CMS capacity.

2. KeepingCommunities together - Polygon 189 is heavily involved with CMScommunity and should remain with CMS community.

We are thankful to BOE members for unanimously passing a motion to move Polygon 189 back to PRES. BOE's original decision to move Polygon 189 from PRES and CMS to DOAS and LKS was due to bad and inaccurate data provided by Dr. Wu on November 13, where he proposed to move Polygon 189 from PRES and CMS to DOAS and LKS.

Unfortunately, the BoE neglected to address the correction of moving Polygon 189 back from Lime Kiln to Clarksville Middle.

Hello,

Our polygons (117/1117) need your help in keeping with the RHHS redistricting. We cannot be the lone soldiers of the Pointers Run students to be kept at AHS. Our children deserve to join their friends and student base in the move. I find it interestingthat this is all changedat the last minute and favoritism given to larger neighborhoods. Eithersomething shady is going on or someone is helping out friends. We all along were to be moved with the other PRES students and now blindsided at the very last minute.

From: Bhagyashree Sane Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2019 1:54 PM Subject: [External] 1171 - Westmount - Please do not move our polygon

! CAUTION: This email originated from outside of HCPSS. Do not click links or open attachments, unless you recognize the sender and know the content Is safe.

Dear Board of Education Members and our elected officials,

OnNovember 18th, the BoE unanimouslypassed a motion to move Polygon 1171 and 171 toFQMS andGHS.

1. Island - PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE NO KIDS IN POLYGON 171 TODAY. This means that the way you are usingpolygon 171 to connect us (polygon 1171) to GHS, FQMS and TRES is WRONG.We'll become island because 171 is going to be fannland in near fatoire. Nearest polygon that goes to GHS is 5 miles away from our community. If you value maintaming sense of community, this plan which makes us isolated on island, is tearingus apart from our neighboringcommunities. In your plan, we will no longer live near our schools which was a minimum expectation we had from this redistricting.

2. We feel heartbroken after seeing sequence of events that happenedduring BOE sessions for our polygon 1171.

On work session V - moved us 1171 to GHS from MRHS On work session VI - moved us 1171 back to MRHS On work session D( - first time motion failed to move 1171 to GHS On work session DC - another motion and this time moved our middle school now On work session DC - yet another motion and this time moved 1171 to GHS and middle school change - at the very end

Polygons are not objects to play with them like this and we have no chance to protest with this very last minute changes.

3. Longer commute - We are very far away from all these 3 schools.

Distance to TRES = 6. 2 miles Distance to FQMS = 6. 5 miles Distance to GHS =8. 1 miles

The decision BOB made in 2017 was wrong. There was no one in 1171 at that time to raise concerns about moving 1171 to TRES. But now you are makingmore wrong decisionsbased on one wrongdecision that was made in 2017. This is not fair at all. Please do not do this to our kids. Our kids will be very much stressed our due to longer commutes. I cannotimagine the sfa'essmy current freshmandaughter will go through once she starts drivingto this far awayhigh school.

4. Tiny feed for HS - If you keep us at MRHS, we are very tiny feed for HS today and we'll be very tiny feed as per BOE projections in 2024-25.

For ES andMS, we agreethat we are not tiny feeds. But there are otherpolygons that you can look at who are

1 closer to these ES, MS and HS who will not be impacted in terms of commute as much as we'll be impacted. Also you can explore the option ofmoving us to the new ES that is comingin near future in TurfValley.

5. Keeping Connnunities together - Since all surrounding communities around Polygon 1171 are involved in MWES,MVMS and MRHS, we would like to join them instead ofjoining communities who are more than 6 miles away from us.

6. On personal note, after giving a lot of thought, our family moved from Centennial school district to MRHS district sinceMRHS is under-utilized school andwe did not wantto contribute the overcrowdingissue at CHS. I am not saying you shouldreward us for our proactive actions, but at least do not penalize our kids by making them travel too far away. From bottom of our heart, we request you to correct prior Board's decision from 2017 and let us stay with our neighboringcommunities.

Thankyou for your cooperation.

I wouldlike to bring animportant geographical factorthat has been continuously overlooked inthe redistricting process thus far. The final plan sends the Pointers Run community polygons (64, 1064, 129, 1129)to SwansfieldElementary School. However, this creates a discontiguous attendancearea for Swansfield.The polygons in question may appear close to polygons 135 and 1135 on a map (see below), but in fact the Middle Patuxent Environmental Area separates these neighborhoods with over 1000 acres of wooded, undeveloped land.

Hello,

Our polygons (117/1117) need your help in keeping with the RHHS redistricting. We cannot be the lone soldiers ofthe Pointers Run students to be kept at AHS. Our children deserve to join their friends and student base in the move. I find it interesting that this is all changedat the last minute and favoritism given to larger neighborhoods. Eithersomething shady is going on or someone is helping out friends. We all along were to be moved with the other PRESstudents and now blindsided at the very last minute.

Hello,

It has come to my attention yesterday that the student population ofAshleigh Knolls in Clarksville will be not be moved to River Hill asoriginally expected. Thisdecision is notgood for our children who have been with their classmates now for 6 years, plus 3 more in middle school. Please please take this into consideration. Thankyou in advance.

! CAUTION: This emaU originated from outside ofHCPSS. Do not cUck links or open attachments, unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear BOE members,

I live in Polygon 296 and 1296, District 4. Some of our neighbors attended your meeting yesterday.

Your work in the last few days has created anextremely unfair situation for people like us who have not beenmoved but beenisolated by the flurry of changes.

Ourcommunity is small. Only 10 kidsin eachgrade in high school. How could the 10 kids fit into a high school, where eachgrade hasan average of365 stodents? My soncomplained that everybody he knows from PRES andCMS will move awayby this redistricting when he reaches high school in 2 years.

Sincethis plan constructed by BoE only in the last fewdays is differentfrom the earlier proposed feasibUity study, superintendent's plan md even earlierMs. Mallo's plan. All the adults we talked to thinkthe latest one is the worst for us. But still manypeople in our community maynot have hada chance to be aware of such change. Wenever havea chanceto speakup. It is UNFAIR.

Ifthat is notpossible, please consider move ourpolygons to MfflS so that the 10high school kids from ourpolygons in eachgrade can keep their fiiendship.

Ourpolygons are surroundedby high way 32 to thenorth. Middle Patuxent River to theeast, JohnsHopkin's Applied Research Lab to the south. Our only connection is to the west through Guilford Road, after a short very distance on Samier road, which used to be Guilford road before road realigmnent).

While you have not reassigned our community, the outcome for us is worse than any existing plan circulated because reduction of CMSto AHS feedto 15%.Due to proximity,we car pool withfnends on Guilford Road. Now we are pretty much isolated as all (he polygons on our drive to PRES/CMS are reassigned to RHHS except us.

In 2 years, my son will complete his middle school in CMS, then he will lose almost all his fiiends as most of them moves to REIHS rather thanhis AHS. He is a naturally shyboy, who is not easyto make newfnends. It would be even harderin high school. But compare to my neighbor Mei Han's daughter, he might be actually the luckier one.

My neighbor Mei Han's daughter is a 9th grader in Atholton HS. In your work session, you moved aU her fiiends out other cmrent school. Shehas been redistricted at elementary school level and at middle school level. Although herparents never moved ourhouse, she has suffered and lost her friends twice in her 10 years of schooling in HCPSS.

This time, you moved all her friends out and leave her as a small feed fiom CMS to AHS.....

Nowtfae ClarksviUe Middle School (CMS) feedto AtholtonHigh School (AHS) has decreased to exactly 15%,according to your document. 6%just moved into the PRES-CMS-AHS feed last year. The actual feed for kids making CMS AHS transition could only be 9% when considering fi-iendship.

Pleaserealize the impact of your last minute decisions to peoplethat is notpart ofmoved polygons.

1 I urge you to vote NO to the current proposal of work session 9 until our concern is addressed.

Sincerely,

Xiang Yu Dear Board of Education,

The final plan sends the Pointers Run community polygons (64, 1064, 129, 1129) to Swansfield Elementary School. However, this creates an island. The polygons in question may appear close to polygons 13p5 and 1135 on a map (see below), but in fact the Middle Patuxent Environmental Area separates these neighborhoods with over 1000 acres of wooded, undeveloped land. In reality, the neighborhoods are not at all connected.

Polntere Run area (64, 1064, 129, 1129) Is a discontlguous island with respect to the Swansfield Elementary School attendance area.

CES

1. Middle Patuxant Environmental Area: No roads, no houses; Not really contiguous In temns of bansportation

4. Only ingress/egress to West Summer Sunrise & Great Star (leads to PRES attendance area)

CCES

PRES 3. Cunf fln1 residences In this area only

2. Only ingress/egress to East: Grace Or & Cedar Lane fleads to CCESattendance area)

The only way in or out of our neighborhood to get to Swansfield is at Grace Dr and Cedar Lane, which actually leads into the Clemens Crossing attendance area. To get to Swansfiled from our house, we would pass through at least 10 other polygons (counting only those polygons on the West side of Cedar Lane). We pass 2 polygons to get to Pointers Run.

This attendance area is inconsistent with Policy 6010 Section IV.B. 2. b regarding community stability and contiguous neighborhoods. I sincerely hope you wilt consider re-examining the decision to move these polygons. The final few work sessions appeared very rushed, and it appears many similar issues have been raised with the final plan. I believe more time is needed to ensure the board members have accurate data and canfully discuss some of the severe ramifications of these decisions.

Thank you for the continuing effort. We know this process has been long and difficult, but it's critical to get it right. Thousands of children's lives are being affected.

! CAUTION: This emaU originated from outside ofHCPSS. Do aotcUck links or open attachments, unless you recognizethe sender and know the content is safe. Dear Board of Education Members,

We are thankful to BOE members for unanimously passing a motion to move Polygon 189 back to PRES.

BOE's original decisionto move Polygon 189 from PRES and CMS to DOAS and LK.S was due to bad and inaccurate dataprovided by Dr. Wu on November 13, where he proposed to move Polygon 189 from PRES and CMS to DOAS and LKS.

Unforhinately, the BoE neglected to address the correction of moving Polygon 189 back from Lime Kih) to Clarksville Middle.

As it stands, we are less than 20 students proposed to so into Lime Kiln Middle.

Request: Please consider keeping Polygon 189 kids at the same schools as they are attending for the school year 2019-20 and propose a motion to fix the oversight.

1. No adverse impact to CMS - Keeping Polygon 189at the CIarksville Middle School will have no negative or adverse impact on any of the FARM or Capacity numbers, as we are less than 20 kids soine to Clarksville middle school. Our existins elementary population is also dispersed evenly K- S andwill not cause disruption to CMS capacitv.

2. Keeping Communities together -- Polygon 189 is heavily involved with CMS community and should remain with CMS community.

3. Continuity for ChUdren and avoiding increased transportation costs and lead times - Clarksville Middle School is less than 1 . 3 miles awayfrom Polygon 189, whereas the proposed LimeKiln middle school is 6.8 miles awayfrom Polygon 189. This creates a 1 hour 10minute round trip commute daily for_ow children. Moreover, based on the proposed move to LKMS, our Polygon 189 kids will go pass Clarksville Middle School to go to the Lime Kiln Middle School. 4. Clarksville Middle SchoolPTA position statement supportins our request is attachedfor reference and consideration.

5. By keepins Polvson 189 at CMS. there are no impacts to FAMRnumbers, aswe can see from the attached BOE FARM numbers fattached). Thank you for your consideration.

Please consider moving 128 back to AHS from RHHS and 117/1117 back to RHHS from AHS as it was originally planned. When you made this swap, you created a smaller feed from CMSto AHS and created an island. All three polygonsare part of the PRESand CMS community and are made up of similar demographics. The differences is polygon 128 is much larger than 117/1117. Removing 128 from AHS had a larger impact on feed than moving 117/1117 back into AHS.

We greatly appreciate you all for unanimously passing a motion to move Polygon 189 back to PRES. Unfortunately, the BoE forgot to address the correction of moving Polygon 189 back from LKMS to CMS. Request: Pleaseconsider keepingPolygon 189kids at the same schools as they are attending for the school year2019- 20 and propose a motion to fix the oversight.

1. No adverse impact to CMS- Keeping Polygon 189at the CMSwill have no negative or adverse impact on anyof the FARM or Utilization.

2. Keeping Communities together - Polygon 189 is heavily involved with CMS community and should remain with CMS community.

3. Continuity for Children and avoiding increased transportation costs and lead times - CMS is less than 1. 3 miles away from Polygon 189, whereas the proposed Lime Kiln middle school is 6. 8 miles away from Polygon 189. This creates a longer commute daily for our children. Moreover, based on the proposed move to LKMS, our Polyflon-189 kids will go pass CMS to go to the LKMS.

4. Also, Dr. Wu stated in hisjustification that a newcommunity is coming online on Great Star Dr. in the coming years, and BoE needs to make room for them. We know our's is new community but our kids have been going to this school for 2 yearsand we haveto moveto makea wayfor housesthat aren't even builtyet. If BOEhas to make a room, whynot move a polygon's from the zoned areas that is by LKMS and also consider assigning the new community to be built to LKMS instead of breaking the relation with the school which kids already established.

Sincerely, Polygon 189 Resident, Dear Board of Education,

Pointers Run area (64, 1064, 129, 1129) is a discontiguous island with respect to the Swansfleld Elementary School attendance area.

CES

1. Middle Patuxent EnvironmentalArea: No roads, no houses; Not really contiguous In terms of transportation

4. Only ingress/egress to West: Summer Sunrise & Great Star (leads to PRES attendance area)

CCES

PRES 3. Current readences in this area only

2. Only ingress/egress to East: Grace Dr & Cedar Lane (leads to CCES attendance area))

While the colored polygons on the map abut each other, it is not really a contiguous area as far as driving is concerned. The only way in or out of our neighborhood to get to Swansfield is at Grace Dr and Cedar Lane, which actually leads into the Clemens Crossing attendance area. If you were to drive from the center of our polygons to the East, you would see that you quickly leave the developed area and then drive several minutes along Grace Drto Cedar Lane. At that point, you'd pass through many polygons assigned to Clemens Crossing, through many busy 4-way intersections, before reaching Swansfield. In contrast, leaving the Pointers Run neighborhood to the West would pass through one 4- way intersection and require just 2 turns before arriving at PRES. Along the way, you d pass our community pool, multiple tot lots, and the route of the community July 4th parade.

This appears to be a clear violation of Policy 6010 Section IV. B. 2. b regarding community stability and contiguous neighborhoods. I sincerely hope you will consider re-examining the decision to move these polygons. The final few work sessions appeared very rushed, and it appears many similar issues have been raised with the final plan.

Request: Pleaseconsider keeping Polygon 189 kids at the same schools as they are attending for the school year 2019-20 andpropose a motion to fix the oversight.

1. No adverse impact to CMS - Keq>mg Polygon 1 sy at the Clarksville Middle School will have no negative or adverseimpact on any of the FARM or Capacitynumbers, as we are less than 20 kids goingto Clarksville middle school. Our existing elementarypopulation is also dispersedevenly K- 5 andwill not cause disruptionto CMS capacity.

2. By keeping Polygon 189 at CMS not only help to reduce the cost, time and resources of County s TransportationDivision, but also greatly reduce travel time, reducetraffic blocks and enhancethe safety of kids. 3. KeepingCommunities together - Polygon 189 is heavily involved with CMS community and shouldremain with CMS community.

4. Continuity for Children and avoidingincreased transportation costs and lead times - Clarksville Middle School is less than 1.3 miles awayfrom Polygon 189, whereasthe proposed Lime Kiki middle school is 6.8 miles awayfrom Polygon 189. This creates a 1 hour 10 minute round trip commute daily for our children. Moreover, basedon the proposedmove to LKMS,our Polygon 189 kids will go pass Clarksville Middle School to go to the Lime Kiln Middle School.

We are thankful to BOE members for unanimously passing a motion to move Polygon 189 back to PRES.

BOE's original decision to move Polygon 189 from PRES and CMS to DOAS and LKS respectively was due to inaccurate data provided by Dr. Wu on November 13, where he proposed to move Polygon 189. As noted above, the elementary level change was then corrected.

Unfortunately, the BoE neglected to address the correction of moving Polygon 189 back from Lime Kiln to Clarksville Middle.

As it stands, we are fess than 20 students proposed to transition from Clarksville Middle to Lime Klln Middle.

Request: Please consider keeping Polygon 189 kids at the same schools as they are attending for the school ysar 2018- 20 and propose a motion to fix the oversight.

1. No adverse impact to CMS - Keeping Polygon 189 at the Clarksville Middle School will have no negative or adverse impact on any of the FARM or Capacity numbers, as we are less than 20 kids going to Clarksville middle school. Our existing elementary Dopulatlon is also dispersed evenly K- 5 and will not cause disruption to CMS capacitv.

2. Keeping Communities together - Polygon 189 is heavily involved with CMS community and should remain with CMS community.

4. As recent as last year, BOE members moved a larger number of students from polygons previously zoned for LMKS to CMS to allow better utilization at the latter. These polygons were closer to LKMS.

5. Clarksville Middle School PTA position statement supporting our request is attached for reference and consideration.

6. By keeping Polvaon 189 at CMS. there are no Impacts to FARM numbers, as we can see from the attached BOE FARM numbers (attached). Thank you for your consideration.

! CAUTION:This email originated from outside of HCPSS. Do not click links or open attachments, unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Hello. I would like to askyou to revisit the issue of redistricting polygons 1038 and 2038. Redistricting these two single polygonsat thistime separates and divides neighborhoodsof kidsthat havegrown up togetherand gone to school together for many years. We are not a secluded area and there is no natural or man-made division between these polygon lines.

I live on Summer Haven Lane and my son is currently a seventh grader at Elkridge Landing Middle School. He has many friendsthat live in the neighboringpolygons that he has met in school. When I first heard that ourarea, the streets off of Hanover Road, were planned to be redistricted I was not happy. That was because my oldest son is at Howard now and we are happywith him there andwe love the school andthe teachers. But since development hasgotten out of hand, we are well aware of how crowded Howard is and know that something needs to be done.

Even though I did not look forward to the change, I wasOK with it since some of my sons best friends would be moving with him and they would all still be together. But now all of that has changed. His two best friends that live one street over are not beingredistricted but we are. My son is devastated and I am concerned for him havingto start alone at a new high school.

I knowyou are very busy, and I am sure that any area that gets redistricted will not be happywith it. But could you please take the time to review the neighborhoods and howthey are divided. Ifyou could drive through the neighborhood you would see what I mean. We are the last few streets off Hanover Rd, right at the end ofthe county and it is hard for me to understand whywe are beingdivided off. I believe the whole area of Hanover Rd should be. consideredtogether to keep kidstogether with their neighborhoodfriends.

Please reachout ifyou have questionsor need other information action from me. And please reviewour boundaries and neighboring polygons and revisit the issue of redistricting for polygons 1038 and 2038. Marilyn Grosskopf

Thank you for bringing up the concern for rising 5th and 8th graders. You aremaking huge efforts to make it better. It will be theirlast yearfor rising5th and8th graders. Pleasedo not separatethem from their friends and their schools that have been in their daily life for years. Taking bus from the closest bus stop or self- fa-ansportation can be the choice provided to reduce the cost if cost is an issue. But at least, kids benefit from it, which is our ultimate goal.

I humbly request HC BOB members to agree to exempt rising 5th and 8th graders. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
