[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look at the capacity percentages after the move, you will see this is going to one huge CF.  By disbanding McKinley entirely, they have Reed at 96%, Glebe between 92-104 and Ashlawn between 91-108%.  Meanwhile, they leave Tuckahoe at 83/77%, ASFS possibly at 76% and the Jamestown/Disc/Nott tried in the 80's.  They clearly are moving ATS to the wrong school.  It needs to go into a smaller capacity school to not totally mess up the balance all over again.  Either that or they need to move a heck of a lot more McK into Tuckahoe and Glebe into ASFS.[/quote]

I think we are going to see very few current McK families at Reed. It's going to be crazy. Do away with options and draw logical lines! and let kids cross busy roads with crossing guards. Dman people, this is not hard.[/quote]

I really hope staff sends the planning units in the area where it makes the most sense rather than prioritizing sending more McKinley units to Reed (e.g. if Glebe/Tuckahoe/Ashlawn are closer or if McKinley units are bussed to Reed while kids walkable to Reed are bussed to Tuckahoe to fill it). Just RIP the bandaid off! [/quote]

The Westover/Reed lobby will have its hand all over this.  They want as many walkers as they can get but want those walkers to actually walk.  They will easily send some of those units to Tuckahoe that they think won't actually walk.

And there's no way fewer McK kids will go to Reed than we think.  There are a ton so close it really will be half of McK. [/quote]
