[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One can't legitimately argue both (a) that Van Ness should be opened because Amidon is close to capacity and (b) that the border for Van Ness should exclude all of Southwest because Amidon is substantially under enrolled. So which one is it?[/quote] You can absolutely argue both points. Amidon-Bowen has seen its population grow for the last 3 years. This past year, Amidon-Bowen had a population of 342 with a capacity of 400. If the population continues to grow, then its very likely to be at capacity for the 2015-2016 school year (When Van Ness Elementary is slated to open) Then the 3 closest elementary schools to Van Ness will be at capacity. Since hardly any kids in the the Van Ness Boundary (East of South Capitol Street, South of the SE/SW freeway) go to Amidon-Bowen, it absolutely makes sense to make that boundary, so Amidon-Bowen doesn't lose any students. See how easy that was to successfully argue both points?[/quote]
