[quote=Anonymous]The school system has a website on which they are posting materials related to the capacity planning process:  http://www.apsva.us/capacity

Last I saw, the school system had acknowledged that adding trailers and turning computer/art/other rooms into classrooms would not be sufficient to accommodate the anticipated population growth.  They had identified several schools as potential candidates for expansion, were considering reopening schools that had been turned into community centers when the student population dropped a while back, were exploring other possible building sites, and evaluating other strategies (e.g., moving around pre-K or other programs that are housed in the schools).  Since it sounds like capacity cannot be added evenly among the existing elementary schools, it seems inevitable that there would be some boundary changes to allocate more incoming students to those schools that are either new or newly expanded.

There's also a chart on the website of the current capacity of each school and the projected capacity in the coming years, which could be helpful info if you are considering specific schools as part of your house hunt.[/quote]
