[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If smart boundary review won't fix the "overcrowding" problem (which it WOULD, everywhere except WOTP)[/quote] Nick here. One of the things I'm trying to raise the alarm about is that everything that has been true about DCPS for the past 50 years is going to stop being true in the next ten. Today, what you say is more-or-less true. According to DCPS there are about 20 schools currently that are overcrowded. They aren't all WOTP, but they are concentrated there. DCPS has 13,000 empty seats, so the capacity is there, it's just a matter of moving it around. In 2027 DCPS is going to have 61,000 students and 61,000 seats. By the definition that DCPS uses, a school is considered "overcrowded" if more than 95% of the seats are filled. So at a bare minimum DCPS will be 3,000 seats short. There's no way that moving boundaries creates 3,000 seats.[/quote]
