[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But I think people without kids are probably selling off their property for huge profits at a faster rate by Discovery than anywhere else, because families want to move there more.[/quote]

No, I don't think that's accurate. The Boomers are looking to age in place. Some might sell and relocate, but a bunch are going to stay put until they are carried out on stretchers, despite the potential profit to be made. And I don't think Discovery is that much more of a draw than Nottingham or Jamestown, at least not until it's a proven "10" school or something.

The point is, even if it's going to be the school with a population explosion in 5-10 years, it's not the school with a population explosion now. And until it reaches capacity, it should be open, as should any school with capacity, to any family who would chose that over remaining at their overcrowded neighborhood school. Five years is a long time for a family just entering K, most of their child's time in elementary school, so it's of little consolation to hear that things will eventually level off. In the interim, why not allow people the choice, as long as it isn't inconveniencing anyone else? Lottery available spots at each grade level and let parents who want to enter the lottery.
