[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, I know the problem. Do you want to solve it by building elementary schools with a capacity of 800 students?[/quote] No, but you can increase capacity in some to relieve others.[/quote] How would that work, exactly? MCPS should find schools that have a capacity of less than 650, and spend the capital improvement money on increasing their capacity to 650? And then redistrict neighborhoods to fit into those elementary schools, regardless of the capacity of the middle schools and high schools? [/quote] I think the poster means that you'd move kids from overcapacity schools to those with available capacity (i.e., I think what was meant was to increase enrollment as opposed to capacity). However, as you note, the problem with this is that the capacity differences may not exist at the MS and HS levels, which is why this really only works if you're talking about two ESs that are in the same cluster.[/quote]
