[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sure Ricardy Anderson already has a finger on the pulse, but addressing Parklawn ES is a huge oversight. They have had ballooning enrollment similar to Coates, however they were able to get a modular, which masks their numbers. In 2019 (pre-COVID) enrollment was 669. Last year they were at 960! They have 19 temporary classrooms and 10 modulars. A boundary study was kicked off in 2024 and suspended this year due to the comprehensive review where it was supposed to be prioritized. Scenario 4 does absolutely nothing for them.

You're right and I would expect Ricardy is paying attention.

I think what happened is that Ricardy pushed back hard against several of the Scenario 3 changes affecting the elementary schools in the Justice pyramid, in particular the ones affecting Belvedere (adding kids from Mason Crest) but even more so the ones trying to relocate Bailey's Upper within its attendance area, which had kids living within walking distance of Bailey's reassigned to Sleepy Hollow.

Thru being Thru, they just undid all the changes affecting the elementary schools in the Justice pyramid, which leaves Parklawn with the problem you described.  Scenario 3 would have reduced Parklawn's enrollment by moving a bunch of kids to Columbia.  [/quote]
