[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we are dealing with both Deal and Wilson being overcrowded, why not make Deal for 6th and 7th grade only, and Hardy for 8th and 9th grade?  Make it one big pool of students with the current feeders and make better use of Hardy.[/quote]
How does that reduce overcrowding?  I guess it shifts some of the excess students from Deal to soak up space at Hardy, but it doesn't do anything for Wilson, does it?[/quote]
Sure it does - 9th would not be at Wilson. So about 25% fewer students in the building. [/quote]
Ahh, I missed that - sorry.  Is Hardy big enough to absorb Wilson's entire 9th grade class?  Because Deal is already overcrowded.

Also, what about the future OOB students who will be displaced from Hardy under that plan?  Hardy is currently a big access point for OOB students.  If one of the rules is that we cannot block any OOB students, then this plan will face headwinds.[/quote]

The plan is not to change OOB feeder rights as kids will not be able to continue with their cohort. This trend is already changing as elementary feeders to Hardy are almost now all IB which will trickle up to Hardy soon. I actually like this idea. A lot.[/quote]
