[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would happen if the board didn't pass the regional model since all of the boundary study data and recommendations assume the regional model is getting implemented.[/quote]

It wouldn't make much difference-- they're just making up numbers of how many kids will leave from or go to different schools (for example, that 400 Whitman students are going to leave Whitman for regional programs at Northwood, Einstein, Blair, and BCC-- yeah right.)  And even with the made-up numbers, the regional programs only shift enrollment projections by 100 or less kids either way in most cases, and that's when fully implemented for all 4 grades (so probably only a few dozen different in year one.)[/quote]

Is t this just going to overcrowd Whitman? Since zero will leave and 400 join?[/quote]

It depends, will 400 families be willing to make the commute work?[/quote]

If so they will predominantly be from BCC.  The 3 DCC schools are quite far from Whitman.[/quote]

Also one of the programs at Whitman is Mandarin and only kids with Mandarin exposure will be eligible and within Region 1 I believe only Pyle MS offers Mandarin and that's the Whitman feeder MS.[/quote]
