[quote=Anonymous]I have heard that Matthew Frumin who is on the committee has done some rough projections using census data.  From what I understand of that data he thinks Janey may have roughly 2,000 students within 10 years within its current boundaries.  Assumptions being the current rate of parents choosing public school, number of baby boomers selling homes, birth rate... lots of possible changes but yes, upper northwest has a perfect storm of issues in that baby boomers selling and leaving the neighborhood and being relatively economically affluent meaning they may have more than just 2 kids means very overcrowded schools.  Whereas many other parts of the city are more likely to get more single, empty nesters.

Not sure what his qualifications are to demographic research but  just looking at the growth over the last several years, you know Northwest school boundaries need to be re-examined.  My guess is that it is not even the current problems, but the future ones that are really pushing politicians out of their stupor.  [/quote]
