[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There aren’t that many kids in middle school Spanish program.  It is taking space at Gunston though that needs seats. Jefferson is also overcrowded. Special programs need to move where the space is. They could also move Montessori middle school. [/quote]

Jefferson isn’t overcrowded, in fact it has quite a bit of capacity, according to APS’s enrollment numbers. If they need to move the special programs, this would be a logical place.[/quote]

This is why they should not be doing a boundary adjustment for next year.  Jefferson was at capacity prior to the COVID shutdown.  Enrollment numbers from last year and this year (which aren't even official yet) are a wrong basis on which to change boundaries to reduce crowding or to balance enrollment.  We do know Hamm is under capacity because it was well below capacity its opening year.  APS is about to move a bunch of kids to TJ and Jefferson will become the most crowded school in two years.  They'll need to "adjust" again.  They'll say they're going to do a full boundary overhaul at that time anyway; but this is about the third consecutive boundary revision that's been scaled down; so don't hold your breath.[/quote]
