[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only way school overcrowding will change is if boundaries are moved. Since the SBOE has no power to do that, leave it to the Mayor to deal with it. [/quote] I recommend this article that carefully dissects the Office of Planning demographic projections and how it relates to school capacity: https://ggwash.org/view/71802/can-dcps-survive-the-coming-enrollment-surge Short version: in a decade, every school west of the Anacostia is going to be at or above capacity, the schools west of Rock Creek will be a combined 2500 seats short. No amount of boundary-shifting increases the number of seats. In 2019 there was something called the Crowding Working Group that looked into this, they recommended a new high school, a new middle school, and two new elementary schools west of Rock Creek.
