[quote=Anonymous]Maury might not be over-enrolled for kindergarten next year.  A substantial portion of Maury's kindergartners are families exercising their options to transfer in to Maury from Jefferson Houston (because of NCLB), and from Mt. Vernon/Tucker (b/c those are year round schools).  I think Maury might be able to reduce K from 80 to 60 kids without displacing families who are actually in Maury's attendance zone--especially since there are fewer kids coming from James Bland right now while demolition/construction continues over there.  I'm sad that Maury won't be open to as many outside the zone families next year, but it has become a victim of its own success, as families are flocking to the school now and staying all the way through 5th grade.  Attendance has doubled in about six years, and they just don't have enough space for everyone now.

But I agree that the ACPS policy that leaves families not knowing where their kids will be until late June is terrible and needs to be resisted.  [/quote]
