[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two things: building where there is little growth WORP is fundamentally a failure.
“All-lottery” will be fought by those happy with neighborhood schools.
 Basically I think ‘all lottery’ fails because Ward 3 organizes and shows up in huge numbers everywhere during boundary reviews. I hate it but it’s true.
I personally will fight expanding Ward 3 schools for out of boundary enrollment 
Best solution effectively will be force everyone to go to their own neighborhood schools. It will partially integrate Wards one and four.

Why are you saying there is little growth WOTP? Office of Planning projections show thousands of new students living WOTP. [/quote]

Where, exactly?  Ward 3 is pretty built out, so unless they assume that developers are going to start bulldozing single family neighborhoods for dense and tall mixed use (a GGW fantasy, I’m sure), it’s not going to happen.[/quote]

The growth is through a record new baby boom and baby boomer retirement.  When we moved to our block 10 years ago there were eight school aged kids on our block. Now there are 24. On just one block. That’s happening all over Ward 3. [/quote]
