[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder about cluster capacity at the elementary level.  If BCC cluster has a capacity deficit of about 700 for elem students, and Rock Creek Forest Elementary has about 300 Spanish immersion students-I think it's 50 for grades K to 5?  Then why doesn't the program move out of the cluster at the elementary level?  It would save the county money in construction of an addition and/or cost of putting portables on the ground at RHPS and NCCES.  Also, why does a school with a current capacity of something like 350 have a special county wide program that accommodates 300 students?  I wonder what the cost of this program is when you factor in all the additional portables and the cost of bussing.

You have to remember that many of these magnet programs were created to accomplish voluntary integration. What is the demographic composition of the immersion program?  Consider that in the context of the overall racialFARMS composition of the school and what the composition would be if the immersion program were to be moved.

We don't know what the FARMS of Spanish immersion is vs. FARMS of English Academy.  That's a good question to pose to the principal.[/quote]
