[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the insight into Alcova. I actually learned about the split in the neighborhood recently in connection with providing feedback on the proposal. It really does help to know the areas we're talking about.

In line with that, why not send all of Alcova to Fleet? I have heard the response that the remaining Alcova units (37040 and 37050) are not diverse. They are in fact about 1/3 now (like the south-of-pike Henry units) and the current Staff projections for 37050 pretty clearly do not include Gilliam Place -- unless anyone thinks 2 years after Gilliam Place opens it will have only gained 6 kids for a *total* of 53 kids in that PU. So, those units will likely be higher in terms of fr/l within a couple of years. Moving Alcova provides or at least maintains diversity to Fleet, and keeps another CAF out of Barcroft. I understand that right now those units provide Barcroft with some higher-income students, but if we look just a few years down the line, I strongly suspect the situation will be reversed.

What am I missing?[/quote]
