[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One pp said that OOB is not the problem.  It is a problem at Deal. I don't know the figures, but if all OOB at deal returned to their middle school, would it mean Deal is still at capacity?  How abt Wilson?

Janney needs a solution and unfortunately it means a boundary shift plus eliminating OOB at all grades[/quote]

Your OOB argument vis a vis Janney only makes sense if there are so many OOB kids in the current 3rd grade that eliminating them would reduce all of the classes to 25. Are there really 25+ OOB students in 3rd grade at Janney? I doubt that is the case, so even if you could lawfully remove all the OOB kids in the grade, it wouldn't help. Creating one more physical classroom out of existing space is the solution (e.g., you might convert a dedicated science room to a regular classroom and have science in the regular classroom like most schools do).[/quote]

Forget OOB students, there are "OOD" students at Deal and Wilson.  That is, students who really live outside Washington, DC but use a fake DC address.  They tend to come to Deal and Wilson from feeder schools where their parents have successfully burrowed them in.  Some estimates are between 5 and 10% of of Deal and Wilson students are not Washington, DC residents.  This is shameful.[/quote]
