[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since they haven’t really done the work to assess demand for all these new programs up front, have they said what they’ll do if there’s insufficient interest to fill programs in a region? Seems like they could either:
- end the program in that region, which would go against the stated goal of equal opportunities for all students
- offer interested kids the option to attend the program in  another region (presumably without transportation), which would again go against the stated goal of equal opportunities for all students
- keep the program with small class sizes, thus increasing class sizes in non-program classes[/quote]
I'm worried that the demand will not be equal, so some schools will remain over capacity.

The premise of the new boundaries is based on the regional models.  It seems to me that they are assuming equal swap of the number of students within a given school, but I don't think that's how it's going to play out.

For example: in Option H,  RMHS is under capacity without any boundary changes. How in the world did they come up with the capacity number?
