Which priorities do you disagree with? |

Drew is below 66... |
Just in looking at the rough representative boundaries map, it looks to me that the boundary for Reed would end at 22nd St., no? I don't think it would include 16060. I think only 16061 would move from Tuckahoe to Reed. Also, just curious- how did you get the number for how many elementary kids are included in these planning units? |
You don't have to just eyeball the maps. APS released a list of all the planning unit numbers and whether or not they are in the walk zone to a particular school. I just looked at that list and bumped it up against the planning unit data that is also on the website. No magic here. Its all available to the public on Engage. |
Wait, APS has determined that Reed can't take trailers? Wut? So what happens if/when Reed goes overcapacity? How does that even work? |
|
Reed probably can't take trailers because the second building will take all of the land that you see there now. It's not going to be there.
This big huge building will be where you see land now. https://www.apsva.us/design-and-construction/new-elementary-school-at-reed-building/ |

and one playground, again for 750 kids.
Seriously people; scroll through the plan |
Luckily, that's not true. They salvaged the lower playground equipment and are relocating it to the back upper play space. The new playground will be large and, unlike McKinley, they will still have 1.5 bball courts and fields. It won't be head-bump-McK all over again. |
| But seriously, what happens when McKinley goes over enrollment? Or even AT 100% enrollment, if the classes aren't each balanced at the max number of kids so that one grade doesn't need additional classrooms? How CAN Reed operate if it's not under 100% if it can't shoot kids off to trailers?????? |
| Sorry, I meant Reed not McKinley above! |
| Please stop. If we are so concerned about Reed overcrowding, then make Reed the option and put McKinley with trailers instead. Oh wait. That’s what you’ve been complaining about for past 3 years. One of these schools has to go. Or Ashlawn. But one of them. That’s just too many seats to fill without busing neighborhood kids from all over. Bus in option kids if you want. But not neighborhood kids who can walk to a school already. |
| So, I know it’s not convenient, but if the issue is putting option schools where there’s no growth predicted, why isn’t Jamestown on the table? Without some sort of massive busing N, it’s going to be empty. |
| McK. Stop with your fake concern. |
I don’t understand what these folks want to save McKinley from? No dog in this fight but I’ve read enough DCUM to know McKinley has an overcrowding problem. So unless you want to continue to be overcrowded, you’re basically saying save part of the community but offload some of the kids to other schools? |
