They don’t need the seats right now, that’s why they can use it as swing space for 5-10 years. Look at enrollment numbers, you can’t use crowding in Rosslyn to justify keeping Nottingham open in the near term. Nice try though.

Also - I would be shocked if Taylor wasn’t one of the first schools to use the swing space. The HVAC breakdown this year was ridiculous and the school still has pods that lack full walls to divide classrooms.

Why renovate Taylor at all if the North Arlington schools are under enrolled? Distribute the students among the existing facilities, and renovate later if the need for more seats arises.

I’m gonna guess because Taylor is much closer to the east where they need seats.

So MS boundary battle royale is kicking off. Moving tons of walkable DHMS students to bus to WMS so they can bus kids from the south. Good times.
