What jumped out at me was how Poe MS is only projected to be at 67% capacity in a few years. Clearly any shifts out of overcrowded Jackson MS should be to Poe rather than Thoreau, which is projected to be at 91% of capacity. |

| Why are they looking at a new elementary school when they only have 23 schools over 105% capacity and have another 53 below 85% capacity and another 33 below 95% capacity? That's almost four schools under capacity for every one school over capacity. |
| There are only four middle schools over capacity and 16 middle schools under capacity. |
| The only level where it appears a new school is needed is at the high school level. There are no high schools below 85% capacity and 11 high schools that are over capacity. |
| The capacities include the trailers. If they did capacities based on actual buildings almost all would be over capacity. |
Poe only has four trailers and is 260 students under capacity. This school would still be under capacity without the trailers. Luther Jackson has 274 students over capacity and 17 trailers. Kilmer has 158 students over capacity and 14 trailers. |
Only 28 elementary schools have core classes in trailers. |
| Why is FCPS still sticking with the 2008 renovation queue, when current projections show some schools need expansions now? Is there a requirement somewhere that FCPS must renovate some sooner than others, even when there is already substantial overutilization? Why are more boundary changes not included? |
Are you sure? I thought they included modulars, but not trailers. |
I think this is correct. |
Schools still need to be renovated, even if they are under capacity and others are over. |
