[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the end of the day, the downside of option 1 for the county is that by the time the boundary process is done the richest whitest s Co oils will all be under capacity while large parts of the county remain crunched. Especially because APS wants to move VPI from the northern schools and that’s partly how they are filling Jamestown now.

Optics of equity are going to be really really bad when they can’t balance capacity. [/quote]

That’s in part because people aren’t bothering to understand APS’s goals.  Since APS has very limited funds to add elementary capacity, they can’t afford to do a bunch of spot projects to add 80 seats here, 100 seats there.  They’ve pretty much done all of the cost-effective expansion they can, and what’s left is more expensive per seat than a new school would be.  So they’re looking to move capacity in around that’s 75% of the county in good shape so they can focus all of their elementary-level capital funding on building new capacity in the remaining portion, in the area they expect to see the most growth (western Columbia Pike).[/quote]
