[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t know that. Unless you are staff then you have no idea what is going to happen or what the seat shortage is. N Arlington is not getting Fleet. Everyone is overcrowded and most will have trailers. It’s all wild speculation at this point. The only things anyone knows is that Henry PTA is advocating for all Henry moving to Fleet and ASFS key posters cannot let anything go and clearly do not see eye to eye. [/quote]

Of course it's just speculation, but isn't that the point of an anonymous message board? Anyway, here are the permanent capacities (https://www.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/AFSAP-Decision-Points-FINAL-03-06-19.pdf page 19) and most recent Fall 2018 projected enrollment available from APS (https://www.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Spring-Update-Projections-for-Fall-2018-19.pdf) for the schools that are supposed to be impacted this fall:

Assuming no option school is moved in this process, I doubt they are going to leave hundreds of seats worth of open capacity in the south and hundreds short in the north. Maybe they will, though. Again, just speculation. [/quote]

So even though S Arl has 100 more kids, it has open seats? I don't follow. The deficit is bigger in the south by these numbers.

Will this be a situation where the numbers get shuffled again when Reed opens?[/quote]
