[quote=Anonymous]A few ways to reduce school overcrowding in Ward 3: Reduce OOB slots and end sibling preference for OOB. OOB students must have at least a B- average and a clean disciplinary record to advance to the next level (middle, high school). OOB slots are a scarce resource and should go to the students who work hard and aren’t troublemakers. Ferret out MD resident students who continue to be enrolled in DCPS. Our daughter graduated from former Wilson last year and said that it was common knowledge that a number of kids really lived in Maryland. Approval of large development projects should take account of school and other infrastructure capacity in the ward. This used to be a requirement in the DC Comprehensive Plan but our pro-development mayor eliminated it. The provision should be restored. Developments above a certain size should be assessed a special school building fee.[/quote]
