[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's almost as if they didn't do this they are doing a really bad job of managing taxpayer resources.  Because leaving 400+ seats empty when there [b]aren't any signs they're filling back up again anytime soon [/b]would be bad management.[/quote]

That’s really the question, isn’t it? APS says there are fewer births in VA so there will be fewer students. Common sense says Boomers are cashing out of APS in droves, properties are being redeveloped, and people are moving in with 2-3 kids because of the schools. FCCPS is a much smaller district and got caught completely unawares of enrollment growth this year. If you plan for 95%-100% capacity you can’t accommodate anything that isn’t dictated by birth data from 5 years ago limited to people who lived in APS at the time. [/quote]

LOL. No one is moving here because of the schools.[/quote]

Reality check.  A lot of people still leave ACPS to come here prior to K.  [/quote]

And DCPS. A ton leave DCPS after free pre-K.[/quote]

Yes, I’m sure someone who’s concerned about free pre-k has the means to purchase a home in NA.[/quote]

Why wouldn’t you take advantage of free quality pre-k and then move? Wealthier people like free things just as much as the next person. [/quote]

That’s the thing. DC’s free pre-k isn’t great. There are many quality *private* pre-k options in DC, all of which you pay for.[/quote]

Again, you have no idea what you are talking about. [/quote]

I guess everyone’s lying then. [/quote]
