Shouldnt DCPS help develop a plan for schools with no space?[/quote]

What makes you think they aren't? This is on DCPS and the principals. Push them for a solution. You have 10 months to figure it out.[/quote]

I know they arent because our principal has made it clear they are not and that it will be completely up to the schools to find a resolution . In fact, DCPS seems oblivious and/or ambivalent to the amount of overcrowding at some of yhese schools.[/quote]

So ask DCPS to shrink your school's boundaries. The schools don't have to be overcrowded.
Also, ask your principal if he or she took any OOB kids this year. I bet the answer's yes. Key made 17 spaces available for OOB kids in K and up in the lottery. Hyde-Addison had 10 spaces for OOB kindergarteners in the lottery, and made waitlist offers for grades 1-5 as well. Ross made waitlist offers for every grade but 3rd. Marie Reed took a bunch too, but they'll have art space soon. Stoddert is the exception. [/quote]

DCPS is the push for these schools to take the OOB kids - requiring set asides ... So, on top of not shrinking the boundaries, it is DCPS that is doing the opposite of pushing for more kids in the school as it is.  Key's younger grade class sizes are bigger as a result, but PP was correct that if you took out the OOB kids, you'd still have 3 classes per grade through 4th - and then still have 2 5th grades ALREADY IN TRAILERS.
