[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few ways to reduce school overcrowding in Ward 3:

[b]Reduce OOB slots and end sibling preference for OOB.  OOB students must have at least a B- average and a clean disciplinary record to advance to the next level (middle, high school).  OOB slots are a scarce resource and should go to the students who work hard and aren’t troublemakers.[/b]

Ferret out MD resident students who continue to be enrolled in DCPS.  Our daughter graduated from former Wilson last year and said that it was common knowledge that a number of kids really lived in Maryland.

Approval of large development projects should take account of school and other infrastructure capacity in the ward.  This used to be a requirement in the DC Comprehensive Plan but our pro-development mayor eliminated it.  The provision should be restored.  Developments above a certain size should be assessed a special school building fee.[/quote]

Why would you only implement this policy for OOB students? Seats in these schools are a scarce resource, period. If your kid who lives across the street from Janney misbehaves and gets C-minuses, they can transfer to a different middle or high school. [/quote]
