Um, I think you're forgetting that there will be a senior class graduating, so that 1696 number will not include them--there won't be five grade levels there next year!...

Number would go up, but likely not as high as 2160.

If 540 kids enter next year, and the same enter the next three years, then at some point there will be 2160 kids there.  It's 540x4.

That's extreme, to be sure.  Some kids at Deal and Hardy won't end up at Wilson.  But there are 540 kids a year from those schools who have a right to attend, not counting kids at Adams or who live in areas zoned for Wilson but not for Wilson feeders. It's going to be a problem, and cutting out Mt. Pleasant and SW isn't going to solve it.  It seems there's no will to abolish the out of boundary guaranteed feeder rule.  Hardy's probably the next most reasonable solution.[/quote]

Explain to me how cutting Hardy makes more sense than cutting EOTP and SW. Seriously. For now we can ignore geography and just talk numbers. I contend that it doesn't make sense to cut Hardy before SW and EOTP from a purely numbers stand-point. When you factor in the logistics and geography, this notion is completely, utterly idiotic.

Not PP, but I think they were saying that even after cutting EOTP and SW, you may still need to cut Hardy.[/quote]

This is not what "they're" saying. That would, at least, make some logical sense. Although it still is incorrect, you can at least follow the reasoning.

There is no one in any position of authority who believes that Wilson is not plenty big for both Deal and Hardy. Essentially, "your" argument is that Deal becomes a 7-year school (since it will be the only feeder to Wilson). You can see how this won't happen, right.

And, the numbers say it's not needed anyway. [/quote]
