[quote=Anonymous]One sad reality that is not getting enough attention is the demise of McK's community.

I know the kids will be fine and we'll have a new community but I also think that there's a solution. Moving an option program to Reed and expanding it will reduce McK's overcrowding while keeping a community intact (well, two of them).

Not sure how this played at at other schools but I think we will see the McK student pop drastically change. Most will go to Reed, sure, but McK has weird boundaries. I think some kids will end up at 3 different schools. So they won't even have a strong community of other moved kids. My kids are at McK and will not move to read. No idea where this PU will move but two schools are closer than Reed, so I'm assuming one of them.

Does anybody have any hard numbers on the number of current McK kids who will stay within the McK community versus move to another school?

Do we know generally which PUs are in danger of moving to a school other than Reed? 
I think Reed, Ashlawn, Glebe and Tuckahoe. I just tried to figure out how many kids there are in the PUs that i think will move but that interactive map challenges my ability to use it.

Here's the map:
