[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do they want to make Haycock 99% full while leaving other schools in the 80s, especially given the development and infill building in Haycock bounds? Why are so many schools involved for one school’s overcrowding that could easily be fixed by program changes?[/quote]

They are projecting Haycock at 92-96% under Option B.

If the LLIV program at Franklin Sherman gets stronger with more kids and a new principal, there will be fewer FS AAP kids at Haycock.

[b]If the new WFC development gets built and overcrowd Haycock they can move some kids to Lemon Road.[/b] [/quote]

FS isn't taking on any significant number more kids than it has currently, and there's no reason to think there will be less AAP transfers to Haycock unless centers are wound down county-wide or something.

As for the bolded, 1/ there's no "if", it's happening, and 2/ the most logical SPA to shift to Lemon Road would be 4022 as it sits on Idyllwood/Kirby Road already (same as the school)... but that's the one they're shifting now from KG -> Haycock. Can't imagine the uproar if they just "whoops" and reallocate it again to Lemon Road in a few years.[/quote]

Scenario B projects Franklin Sherman would pick up an additional 38 kids.  In addition, FS sends a lot of kids to Haycock for AAP - more than Chesterbrook, which has more students. If the new FS principal is more committed to LLIV services than Quigley, then it stands to reason the number of LLIV kids from FS at Haycock may decline.

In terms of WFC development, it certainly appears to be coming, but it hasn’t happened yet. If it generates a lot more kids, they could move SPA 4011 or 4018 to Lemon Road, and that would still leave SPA 4022 at Haycock.

To be clear, I’m not super-invested in Scenario B. I get the impression you want to kill the immersion program at KG and then move no one from KG to Haycock. If that’s what you’re angling for, it seems you’re out of luck. [/quote]
