[quote=Anonymous]Tyler's capacity is about 500 students. It's hard to imagine that there is sufficient demand for an in bounds spanish immersion program to fill the school. Most language immersion programs only admit new students through K (or 1st?) grade. Brent's building capacity is 325 (although there are around 350 students now). While I am sure there are some parents in bounds for Brent who would prefer Tyler's SI, I don't imagine there are sufficient numbers to solve Brent's overcrowding problem even if no additional catchement area was included. From DCPS's standpoint, wouldn't it make more sense to shift the boundaries a block or two to solve overcrowding as opposed to this proposal which might give the impression that DCPS is favoring some over-entitled parents on Capitol Hill. A win-win solution needs to work for Brent, Tyler and DCPS more broadly to have any chance.[/quote]
