[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would happen if we did it like everywhere else and had sensible feeder bounders? 2 MS to each HS.

So TJ and Gunston to Wakefield
Swanson and Kenmore to WL
Hamm and Williamsburg to Yorkdown

What are the demographics under that scenario?

Now that we have 6 MSs, that seems like the approach that would make sense, though APS is not big on that.[/quote]
The neighborhood that WL is located in is zoned for Hamm.  I think maybe having Kenmore go to Yorktown, and having all of Hamm go to WL would make more sense.

These are bigger changes than what they should do this year though -- the projections are horrible.  Seriously ridiculously off.  They predicted that Innovation would be at 98% capacity (that was the justification for not moving all of ASFS there, which would have left a lot of flexibility for a future rezoning since then they could have said that innovation wasn't the new school but asfs was).  Innovation has less than 400 kids!  That's at 4/6th capacity.  ASFS is at 80% capacity.  They thought it was going to be over capacity this year.  Who knows if thats just COVID and the kids are coming back, but the projections are WRONG.  We should not be disrupting kids who have already had a tough time during the pandemic using numbers that are this off.  They should change as little as possible, and then kick it down the line at least two years until they figure out who is coming back from private.  [/quote]
