I don’t like this scenario
Jason Brookbank
The current scenarios are inappropriately applying the guidance that disregards "temporary" portable classrooms. Many of the schools have been using these for many years. Well beyond any concept of "emergency" or "temporary". Please re-compute scenarios using all existing portables as capacity.

Scenario 3 allows more neighborhoods to stay together that have traditionally attended the Centennial schools for decades. The students can walk and bike to school and can attend after school activities more easily without riding a bus. Transportation costs are saved for more educational programs.

I think that scenarios 1 and 3 dont help because I have all my friends here and making us go to a different school will make me lose a lot of my friends and I could walk to my school now whereas if I go to a different school, I will have to ride a bus and I really want to go to Burleigh Manor.

Scenarios 1/3 doesn’t really help CLES over capacity issue but move our walkers to bus riders, which is very disturbing. Our daughter was extremely upset thinking about being separated with her 6 years friends
Zhao Zhang
Scenario 1/3 doesn’t really help with CLES capacity issue at all while moving us out of walking zone. Why spend so much time/effort to bother on something not meaningful? My daughter was extremely upset about being separated with her existing friends of 6 years as well!
swapna challa
The redistricting plan misaligns with HCPSS Policy 6010. Primary concerns: Middle/high schools aren’t overcrowded yet face disruptive changes during critical academic years, risking mental health impacts. Projections appear flawed and lack transparency. Walkable communities are split
R
No redistricting.
Diana Yang
Scenarios 1&2 will trigger another round of redistributing in 2035. Scenario 2 will reassign most students and incur most transportation cost. Scenario 3 is the best choice.

This option is unacceptable due to non-continuous neighborhoods, an isolated “32s” island split by major roads, and repeated redistricting—disrupting community ties and harming children’s social, emotional, and mental well-being.
Amanda Malone
Recently moved to 5147 with child starting at CLES in 2027. Want to bike to ES and walk to MS/HS. If redistricted, would be isolated by lake/108 whereas CLES is accessible. Stability/transportation costs are important. Please keep 5147 in CLES and keep community together (2147, 2156, 1156).

I just don't understand what the purpose and benefits these proposals have. It a huge waste of transportation budget considering we already cut so many programs in HCPSS. Kids will suffer the most by spending hours on the road every day and leave their friends behind.
lavanya kashyap
Please show fiscal responsibility and keep walkers as walkers. Use the bussing money for important GT programs and teachers which will add value to the tax payers money.
Angelo Catania
While this scenario reduces CLES to 107% instead of 100%, this is not a concern for me. Thanks to the portable units, the school does not feel "overcrowded" for our students, and since there is no forecasted population growth for CLES, there is little reason to uproot more students to chase 7%.
Angelo Catania
I like that this scenario moves 74 fewer students from walkers to bussers than Scenario 2. While still not ideal, this scenario represents less added transportation cost to the county, which is a (slightly) more responsible use of county funds versus Scenario 2.
Pranav Kashyap
I am past student of CLES and current student of BMMS and want to be future student of CHS. I walk to BMMS and will walk to CHS. Dont bus us to a different school

It does not make sense, fiscally, to add to transportation costs, when we already have walkers. This is not fiscally responsible, especially with all of the current budget cuts.

Increased transportation costs & times.

Keep existing school communities and kids together and do not divide them due to an unnecessary need - this is triggered due to addition of preK to schools at full capacity which is not needed. Instead move preK to less crowded schools and problem is solved.
SHaomei Zhang
Scenarios 1 &2 will put BWES over capacity by 2035. Scenario 3 reassigns least number of students and adds least transportation cost.
Deepa Subramanian
This redistricting is not really needed; unnecessarily triggered because of pre-K addition proposal to a full CLES. Moving walkers to buses adds costs unnecessarily. If portables are taken into calculations (consistent with other counties and areas), there should be no concern.

Instead of solving for ES overcrowding situation for long term, this scenario disrupts walkers and increases transportation costs for HCPSS

Sudhir Patel
Do not move walkers and break up communities. This will increase transportation costs too.
Yukan Duan
Look how ridiculous this map is, the firm (Citygate) has NO idea about our county, our roads, our traffic conditions, our neighborhoods, our communities, and it considers Centennial high and BMMS as polygons and moves them to other schools? Pure nonsense!
Yukan Duan
Students who live close to home school should never be redistricted, HCPSS is a neighborhood school-based system. Community continuity and proximity to schools should be top priorities. What HCPSS needs is a real long-term solution. Do not break our neighborhoods, do not treat kids as simple numbers
Deyin Xing
This will significantly increase transportation cost.
Yaminee Thaker
Longfellow Elementary is much farther away. There is no contiguous neighborhoods. I don't think the cows want to be redistricted:) Do not create islands and affect the emotional health of our children. If the children are the priority, this is simple.
Yanhui (Annie) Zhang
The transportation to Longfellow is longer. Also, Park and Rt 108 are natural barriers and make the Neiborhood actual island.

Ekta Yadava
Let walkers be walkers, please do not create islands.
Nicole Laidig
Does not maintain community stability by creating areas that are essentially islands. Neighboring polygons would attend different elementary schools. Please consider visiting this area in person for a better understanding of how this scenario fails to create contiguous neighborhood
Jiahua Hu
Less students reassigned.
Edwin Lee
By redistricting fewer students from the Centennial neighborhoods, only Scenario 3, Longfellow does not have to shift population into Swanfield ES. This preserves capacity for Bryant Woods ES to shift capacity to Swansfield ES, fully relieving the overpopulation at Bryant Woods ES.
Anne Ruppersberger
Poly 2147 has easily-accessible pedestrian and biker friendly paths and bike lanes that connect the neighborhood to CLES. If redistricted, our families would no longer be able to (safely) participate in Walk-N-Wheel Wednesdays and Pack 361 (CLES-chartered) flag raising ceremony on those mornings.
Anne Ruppersberger
Polygon 2147 is a longstanding community; a neighborhood with homes that predate Centennial schools. Scenario 3 would redistrict many newer developments, which is preferable to redistricting a neighborhood with longstanding traditions rooted in the connecting Centennial schools.
Charles Ruppersberger
Polygon 1427 has been served by CLES since it was built over 50 years ago. Despite APFO designating CLES a “CLOSED” school as of late 2015, nearly 100 new luxury single-family homes have been built since then. Do not disrupt a longstanding Centennial neighborhood.
Keriann Uesugi
Keep the Jerry's Dr, Woodleigh's, and Sebring neighborhoods (polygons 2132,1132,132) together and move them all to CCES to retain the full neighborhood. Also, keep the SES polygons (2053 and 5133) at SES instead of moving to CCES. That retains their community at SES.

Lorraine Lassman
The focus should be entirely on relieving Bryant Woods ES over-utilization for next year but also long term. Hold off on trying to lower capacity at CLES for now. Utilize Hollifield ES and Waverly ES in near future to relieve St John ES, then can move Polygon 97 to SJES where it belongs

(1) Please keep walkers walking. Please keep the walkers in Polygon 2147 walking instead of redistrict them to bus riders. (2) Please don't redistrict polygon 2147 which will cost an estimated $533,000 per year in transportation, and $5M+ over 10 years.
Xiaoqin Xiong
(1) Please don't redistrict polygon 2147 and keep it within the centennial schools. Polygon 2147 is the village of centennial schools and within walking distance to BMMS/CHS. Polygon 2147 will be an island if you redistrict it to Long fellow ES.
(2) Keep Walkers Walking.
Alison Clarke-Pentz
No neighborhood should be an island surrounded by neighborhoods that do not attend the same school. This is very unfair to the children of polygon 132 who will not have any school friends in their surrounding communities. Please keep polygons 132, 1132, and 2132 together. Move us all to CCES.
Kirsten Boswell
Why doesn't HoCo have magnet schools where parents can choose to send their kids? Put them in underutilized schools - ex., language immersion
Normarie Serrano
This scenario doesn't make sense. You are separating the pool of students that attend Bryant Woods and live nearby to areas that are further out from their home and keeping other students that live further from the school. This makes no sense.

Marilou Livingston
I am a parent in poly 2147, on Century Drive, of a rising 2nd grader and am reaching out due to Scenario 2 redistricting plan for CLES, Burleigh MS, and Centennial HS. My daughter, currently at CLES, would be negatively affected, as well as the budget for HCPSS, and close community ties would suffer with the planned scenario 2.
I am instead in favor of Scenario 3 as it minimizes elementary level disruption. In addition, it supports all policy 6010 considerations, and provides relief for BWES.
I am opposed to Scenario 2 as it would result in 120 new bus riders, which is triple the amount of walkers.
This would also cost additional, requiring approximate $5-7 million new bus routes in 10 years.
Poly 2147 is walking distance to Burleigh MS and Centennial HS. My son attended CLES, Burleigh MS, and Centennial HS. The proximity of Burleigh MS and Centennial HS helped him in attending sports, activities for the schools. He was a successful member of elementary, middle school, and high school music programs.
He biked during the school year, to attend sports activities, which greatly helped us as parents as well.
I moved to Century Drive since 2009, and have settled here when my son was only 4. I've watched him develop, together with his friends from the elementary, middle school, and high school into a successful cadet at a military academy. I can say that attending these schools, close to our home helped in his success. Currently, I would like for my daughter to continue and have the same opportunity as my son had, maintaining close community ties within the district.
Janice Apple
Minimize walkers turned to bus riders and increased transportation times.
Scott Apple
Scenario 3 preserves my children's current school and keeps them with their friends and teachers. It also stops the overcrowding issues for any foreseeable future unlike the other plans where we would need to redistrict again by 2035.
Michelle Kush
Why is there a small cut out on route 40 that is and will remain districted to centennial. This small area is not contiguous with the centennial neighborhoods and has 2 elementary schools closer to it. This area should be redistricted.
Emma Webster
According to May APFO 2025 report and HCPSS June 2024 feasibility study, CLES is not in urgent need. Scenario 3 gives BWES relief while providing the least impact to CLES.
Sabyasachi Kar
This plan will affect the least number of children
Michelle Lee
#3 is the only that balances BWES in the long term and doesn't casuse students to pass through LoFS to Swansfield. Minimizes student moves while optimizing critical outcomes for Central Columbia.
Michelle Lee
#3 creates minimal new transportation costs (~$100k v $500k in #2) and takes a neighborhood already isolated from the Centennial community and uses it to balance school population. Only 38 high schoolers "walk" to CHS (>1mi). The drive up Century Dr in Poly 2147 creating hazardous ped conditions.
Tim Zhan
Scenario 3 allows parents living near CHS and BMMS to transport their children up Centennial Lane to the closer CLES.
Katharine Hemady
I don't support any of the scenarios, but among these, scenario 3 is the most preferred.
William Staples
This scenario affects the least amount of students.
Sara Karaba
Is there a reason polygon 97 was not considered given capacity issues at CLES? It is non-contiguous, and also not in the same high school zone as nearly all of the other existing CLES area.
Sara Karaba
Redistricting this polygon/area would break apart this relatively small number of families from their existing community. If CLES is over capacity, why this polygon and not consider polygon 97?
Andrew Karaba
This scenario takes kids surrounding Centennial park north and buses them across town for now reason. These kids are all friends with kids who live a block away and will be very distraught to have their friends be bused to another school.
Chunsheng Zhao
Scenarios 1 and 2 will trigger another redistricting in 2035. Scenario 2 reassigns the most students and brings the highest transport cost. Polygon 2147, an original CLES community with deep ties to CLES and nearby neighborhoods, would be severed by redistricting and surrounding farm and parkland.
Zhanglin Ni
Scenarios 1 and 2 will trigger another round of redistricting in 2035. Scenarios 2 will reassign most students and incur most transportation costs. Scenarios 3 is the best of the three.
Yayehrad Essayas
This is the better of the three scenarios. But not by much. I urge you to consider pausing the redistricting of the Centennial Elementary school at this time and reconsider in a couple of years, and include schools in the northern region.
Melat Tafesse
Scenario 1 and 2 will trigger another round of redistricting in 2035. Scenario 2 will incur the most transportation cost (estimated $5.3M in the next 10 years) and will make poly 2147 an island and breakup the community. Need to keep walker walking. Opposing strongly plans in scenario 2.

Scenario 3 is the best option. It has the least disruption to students, preserves walkability, and maintains community stability—key goals of Policy 6010. It avoids unnecessary busing, saving 22,000 student hours, 75 metric tons of CO2, and significant costs.
Sarah Boudreau Baumert
I am concerned that this plan would cause Longfellow Elem to lose Title I funding.
2147 Resident
This scenario provides the most relief for BWES, and allows for exploration into the northern schools for CLES and a clockwork strategy for middle school relief in 2030. While the polys are not contiguous for BWES, the neighborhoods are.
Gergana Kostova
If at all redistricting has to happen, I would support Scenario 3 as it affects less students from polygons who have been sending students to the three Centennial Lane schools for decades. Walkers should be kept walkers. This option does the least harm to the established community.

-BWES overcrowding alleviated through 2035
-Only 38 CHS/BMMS walkers become bus riders

I have just returned from the presentation held at BMMS. The response from the community was overwhelmingly negative. Every single in person in the room firmly rejecting all proposed scenarios. Community strongly opposed the idea of dividing our neighborhood in the name of balancing school.

Of the three proposals, scenario 3 seems to do the best job of alleviating crowding at BWES in the long term projections - which may still be under representing the growth in the downtown Columbia area over the next ten years.

Scenario 3 is the only one that seems to help the BWES over crowding issue and will have less of an impact on transportation costs. The crowding issues at BWES seem much more pressing to address than CLES whose population is quite stable.
Jenny Palmer
Scenario 3 alleviates the BWES overcrowding the through 2035. It still does require converting walker to bus riders which is not ideal but is the smallest number from the current 3 scenarios. Ideally the final plan should NOT convert any walkers to bus riders and not make any polygon an island.
Zachary Sivo
Pocket neighborhoods with million $ homes built in last 10 yrs should not be wedged into crowded schools at the expense of older established and closer neighborhoods for CLES. Pockets off Old Annapolis close to Dorsey Search should be districted to RBES or LES if there are capacity issues.
Nanyoung Baer
Keeping the closest neighborhoods to the schools that have been there longer makes most sense. Even if you have to make sidewalks thatll be cheaper than bussing kids to another town.
NAN BAER
HCPSS and BOE should priortize keeping the closest polygons to CLES. It makes no sense to bus the closest polygons out of the school district. Keep common sense alive and keep the closest polygons in. Build sidewalks if you have to, which is cheaper than bussing.
Francis Smart
Scenario 3 is very gerrymandered and wonky. Please do not vote for this.
Josie McCauley
-Add more portables, as they aren't included in the utilization numbers. The community would rather have students in portables than have walkers moved to another school farther away. Put an addition on CLES in the meantime.
-Move pre-k
Pat Murphy
I would like to suggest that after the redistricting for the elem students that the MS and HS students at min. the ones who would be walkers be returned to their neighborhood schools. A great deal of money was spent redesigning parking lots and putting in a cross walk to allow them to be walkers.
Kimberly Genovese
Scenario 3 has the smallest impact when it comes to moving kids from walkers to bus riders. Many of the kids who are "walkers" to CHS in scenario 3 currently do not walk and are driven to school which has made the drop off loop extremely long.
Surobhi Rooney
Scenario 3 most reduces utilization at Bryant Woods. As a Title 1 school, utmost consideration should be given to reducing class size to the maximum extent possible for BW. Scenario 3 best achieves this goal.
Eva Seligman
this moves the fewest students out of our CLES community. I did not look at the impact to Bryant Woods so please don't use this in consideration of the Bryant Woods Plan
Matthew Gibson
I favor Scenario 3; however, I am opposed to the immediate imposition of the redistricting across all grade levels. If the overcrowding is most acute in ES, why not redistrict there and phase in the MS and HS redistricting as the ES age?
Anurag Dwivedi
New communities should be subject to redistricting to avoid disrupting and penalizing established communities.
Dr Sunando Sengupta
All three scenarios will negatively impact and break communities and make walkers bus riders to long distance schools. In a age of fiscal responsibility it doesn't make any sense to add to bus costs.
Samantha Anim
I do not support any of the scenarios. In each one they have polygon 2053 being redistricted to a school further away. There are only 2 children on that street and to take them away from all of their friends and administration that they know is unnecessary and would impact their mental state.
David McManic
This scenario redistricts the least number of kids and keeps the largest portion of the community together. It also prioritizes neighborhoods closest to the new schools. Finally a new sidewalk and crosswalk along Old Annapolis will make more walkers to Burleigh Manor and Centennial High
Nitu Thakore
I like scenario 3 best as it displaces the least amount of CLES kids, keeps more kids as walkers and does not create any islands
Jun Kim
Please redistrict only elementary school by moving polygon 97 to Northfield elementary. Centennial lane elementary will still be 105% but that can be easily handled when we consider historical 110% over a decade. Middle schools and highschools don't need to redistrict this time!
Michael Stein
I do not support scenario 1. If moves must be made, I support scenario 3 or scenario 2 which provides the best CLES, BMMS and CLHS relief through 2035. I urge the board to select either scenario 2 or 3 which prioritize student stability, and community cohesion and and utilization relief. Thank You
Spencer Black
I like that Scenario 3 keeps the Sebring, Llanfair Dr, and Wooded Run neighborhoods together, but I don't like how we are isolated from the rest of the school. Although we have been very happy at BWES, it might make more sense to send these three neighborhoods back to CCES like they were previously
Edward Weinstein
Scenario 3 makes the most sense. Minimizes reassignments for middle and high schools. Preserves current walkers, and allows for expansion of the Merriweather district.
Stephanie Mulder
Scenario 3 doesn't reduces CLES enough to make it worth it the effort and I assume more redistricting would be needed again soon. This is stressful enough, don't want to have to do this again anytime soon.

To minimize shocks of changes, I strongly agree the scenario 3 for the boundary adjustment.
Jisu Ha
According to scenario 3, this leads to minimize shocks to our community. I strongly agree the scenario 3 for the boundary adjustment.
Janice Apple
I can hear the marching band from my house when they practice. For years we have taken our children to centennial highschool to learn to ride their bikes. We hate scenario 2, scenario one is the least disruptive.
Scott Apple
Of the proposals this one is least disruptive and most considerate of children and their relationships with friends, teachers, and their school.
Young Choi
My son is attending Centennial high school 2026 where is the closest, 5 minutes away but Wild lake high school is 15 minutes away if changed. He was born and grew up at this community expecting to go CHS just like his sister.

Scenario 3 has a smaller negative effect on middle and high school students.
Jun Kim
Scenario 3 has a smaller negative effect on current middle and high school students. Commute time to Wild lake high School for redistricted students will be double if the other two are chosen.
Yukan Duan
None of the 3 scenarios are acceptable. They would disrupt many communities and create a lot of extra cost that HCPSS simply does not have. Just keep the current districting and stop wasting our tax money on this nonsense.
Wei Zeng
Scenario 3 is acceptable better—more walkability, fewer disruptions, and smarter use of funds. Scenario 2 is the worst: costly, unnecessary busing, and ignores community input. Prioritize kids and common sense. Pick Scenario 3. Reject Scenario 2.
Yukan
This is absolutely insane. Why are only these 3 options given? It was stated that a lot more options are possible at yesterday's BOE meeting. Another option should be added - none of these! There is NO reason for polygon 97 to go to CLES and BMMS. Stop wasting our tax dollars!
