So the direct meetings with the schools impacted...
What are the changes being considered for Janney and Wells? Anyone know? https://dme.dc.gov/node/1688576 |

| It sounds like Janney and Mann boundaries are being considered (which I honestly don’t remember being mentioned before) |

| We looked at what would happen if we modified Wells/Coolidge boundaries and it causes too many problems for the feeder elementaries. Really the only options left are reducing OOB seats and recommending building expansion and/or moving Wells to another (TBD) facility. |

| Confirmed one of the things being considered is OOB feeder rights. She did mention that it reduced at risk on average by 2-6%. |

| I feel seen and heard. All the strategies I've suggested are being discussed. Highest among them would be at risk set aside for all schools until said school is 30% at risk. By name, they said biggest opportunity schools would be Brent, Lafayette, and Oyster Adams. |

Looks like Hardy and MacArthur will take more of Woodley Park (that currently feeds O-A and JR) and western parts of AU Park (that currently feed to Deal-JR).
Not sure how all these additional kids will be squeezed into Hardy. |

Southern part of Mt Pleasant (south of Irving) will be re-zoned out of Deal-JR and instead sent to CHEC and Cardozo. Core wealthy section of Mount P still retains their moat of protection in Deal-JR.
No change to Shepherd, as widely predicted. |

But that wouldn’t make sense with adding OOB at risk set asides. I’m only half listening though so correct me if I’m wrong. |
