[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are posters so insistent that no Nottingham kids will end up at Jamestown?[/quote]

I was thinking same and just went to look at boundary map.  It's easy to visualize how some Nottingham kids could end up at Jamestown.[/quote]

More likely a bunch of Discovery kids end up at Jamestown and Taylor.  I think Tuckahoe is left pretty intact (probably picks up the 2 straggling PUs currently bused to Nottingham) and Discovery picks up most of the Notties.  They'll be reunited with the former Notties.[/quote]

APS says in pre-CIP that Nottingham will go to Tuckahoe and Discovery, except for pre-K which ends up at Taylor. More than just 2 planning units end up at Tuckahoe based on the numbers they state, and then to prevent that school from being even more overcrowded, existing Tuckahoe kids end up elsewhere. And when Nottingham kids end up at Discovery, Discovery end up at Jamestown and Taylor. The whole point is everyone gets scrambled when Nottingham closes.[/quote]

Cardinal can’t take any more kids.  Tuckahoe kids are not going there.  They’re not going to mess with cardinal which would have massive ripple effects as all the schools in the middle of the county where they would then send Cardinal kids (Ashlawn/Glebe) are beyond full.

I think most of Nottingham goes to Discovery and a good chunk of Discovery goes to Taylor or Jamestown.  [/quote]

So Discovery and Cardinal will stay at 96% capacity while Tuckahoe goes to 120% - 130%+?   APS will have to move some students out of Cardinal to make room for the Tuckahoe planning units...."Do you feel lucky?  Well, do ya..."[/quote]
