[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are the projected 2000 additional students in ward 3 by 2027 supposed to go to school? On the roofs of the facilities that are all already over utilized today according to this report? Capacity is just over 6,600, current enrollment is already over 6,900, projected enrollment of over 8,700 in 2027....[/quote]

Presumably the 2022-23 boundary review would redraw lines and address that. A lot of people will be attending school east and south of where the current feeder patterns are drawn. [/quote]

But how would they do that and maintain walkable elementary schools? You’d just be moving elementary school kids to other already over ultilized elementary schools. I mean, I live in Eaton’s boundary. The only nearby walkable school that isn’t currently over capacity is Hearst, but I suspect it will be in short order as well. Otherwise, we are sort of near Murch and Oyster, but not walkable with little kids 2x a day. [/quote]

It won't necessarily have to be walkable.

They could be stricter about OOB kids, both through the lottery and when IB people move OOB.

They will probably also cut PK4 in some schools WoTP, or shrink the number of spots available to a single ECE inclusion class in each school.

I'd guess some of the WoTP self-contained special education classes will also move.

They could take Fillmore away and make each school do its own art classes, and either give it its own boundary as an elementary school, or make it a ECE campus with preference for schools that don't offer PK, or make it a citywide inclusion campus with no boundary.[/quote]
