2022 HCPSS Feasibility Study

9 Jun 2022Chao Wu

2022 HCPSS Feasibility Study is available now. This is to help the board to define the boundary of High School 13 (at Jessup, along the mission road), which will be opened in Fall 2023. There are four redistricting scenarios discussed in the study.

Here is how to find your polygon number: https://chaowu.org/2017/06/24/how-to-find-hcpss-school-polygon-map-number/

Scenario A

Scenario B

Scenario C

Scenario D

Just as I said during the last redistricting in 2019, we should define the core area for High School 13 at that time to reduce unnecessary moves this year. Unfornatuely the majority of the board did not listen to me and we are facing a large reshuffling again. It will be a huge challenge for students, and families. At the same time, let’s get excited for a new high school opening. The last new high school is Marriotts Ridge High School, which opened in 2005, 17 years ago.

2020 HCPSS Feasibility Study

9 Jun 2020Chao Wu

Annually, the Board of Education reviews long-term capital planning options and school capacity utilizations through the Feasibility Study. This report starts the capital budget process. The annual student enrollment projection is introduced; identification of potential new capital projects (e.g., additions, renovations) or changes to previous capital projects are discussed; and anticipated attendance area adjustments within the timeframe of the capital improvement program are presented in this report. Plans examined in this document may be implemented in the approval of the capital budget or changes in school attendance areas.

The 2020 Feasibility Study indicates no boundary review process for implementation in SY 2021-22.
