[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the capacity meeting at W-L a couple weeks ago, boundary changes are the absolute last option, and was not even a topic brought up for discussion. The focus right now is on reopening a closed N Arlington elementary--likely Madison and/or Reed, and on constructing additions to various schools. The reopened schools might be a magnet option within a "team" of schools, or they may become new neighborhood schools, necessitating boundary changes.

Redistricting to Wakefield, if it happens at all, won't happen until at least the new school construction is finished. And the [b]school board is betting that the enrollment will substantially rise[/b] at Wakefield once its building is complete. [/quote]

is this a good bet ?[/quote]

What will be the capacity of the rebuilt Wakefield?  I expect it's considerably higher than the school's current enrollment.

ACPS has to fill more of those seats, or they will be accused of wasting money.  So either South Arlington has to attract more families with high school-age children, the county has to redistrict, or both.
