[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple of the schools hovering around 100 percent capacity, which feels crowded day to day, while one sits way under capacity is not a solution.[/quote]

No one wants to give up walking or commit to a long bus ride.

At capacity changes year to year.

They should colocate HBW middle school students at WMS, and expand the HBW high school enrollment at the Heights. [/quote]

I like that last suggestion.

Personally, I would rather my kids be at a school that's not packed to the seams and take a bus.  We are walkers for Swanson.  Walking has value but these kids are packed into that school all day every day and that has a much bigger impact on them.  I don't think I'm the only person who feels that way?  Maybe I am.  And yes, I understand I could choose a transfer.[/quote]

The vast majority of walkers do not want to be rezoned. It’s not just about walking. The school itself will likely be quite far away since they are already very close to their current school.

I’m really getting around the HWM co-locate at WMS. They share with Stratford now, so it’s hardly shocking. They would share no classes, maybe share lunch I suppose, and kids would get to do sports which is really important to foster at this age.  Kids are already bused from all over so it’s not difference in that regard.

PLUS it increase available high school seats. [/quote]
