Here’s my take- Walt Whitman HS has a 2026 graduation class size of 538.

The incoming freshman class size for fall 2026 is, according to the principal last as of last week, 404.

That’s a 25% enrollment decline in four years to what is consistently ranked the #1 high school in the state of Maryland. It’s also one of the wealthiest areas of the state as a suburb of Washington, DC.

Translation: people who can leave public school do.

@mymcmedia So on brand that she thinks $3.9 billion should get no scrutiny.

@Dawn_LCPC I love how the solution to everything is to add people. They can’t afford the people they have!

@CMEvanGlass The last thing we need is a more powerful CE

@ModeratelyMoco Just grows and grows. Except for enrollment

@Dawn_LCPC @MCPS Make it make sense

[Kara @Karadowd]

@ModeratelyMoco There is not enough money on earth to either “fully fund” MCPS or make MCEA happy

@AdamVanGrack @bethesda_today @ModeratelyMoco @MocoFeed @PCMC1 @TSWoottonHS School board is stacked with Apple Ballot candidates. If you want change, that is what has to change.

@MCPS Good news! Less education at MCPS!

[Kara @Karadowd]

@Josh65452486463 @MCPS I very much agree with you

[Kara @Karadowd]

@EvanMGlass Why are schools plowed last? Suggests they are the lowest priority

[Kara @Karadowd]

@MCPS Please never tell me how important attendance is again.

[Kara @Karadowd]

@mkhammer The leaders of the school district in my Maryland county are always wondering why they have a chronic absenteeism problem… hmmm

[Kara @Karadowd]

@MCPS I wonder why you have an attendance problem- might be because you keep telling kids and parents that school is not important.

@AdamPagnucco This should have been the first sentence and partially explains the current state of affairs-

If your revenue model is based on taxing people who are headed out the door, you are going to have big fiscal problems.

[Kara @Karadowd]

@AdamPagnucco More overspending. Less fiscal responsibility
