[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure those who go to either school will get newsletters or hear discussions at pta mtgs that say what the enrollments are.  The schools will be making changes as a result of the rezoning and they will likely tell membership.  I'd think LJ would be happy to tell families that they will only have 9 trailers instead of 19, or they are allowing kids to travel in both directions in hallway A next year.  I'm sure there will be procedural changes at TMS too...and people want to know how the school they've known is going to be different.

Wasn't there some argument a year ago about how "disruptive " it would be to add 300 kids to Cooper all at once?  And some vocal people were trying to slow down a change?  Well.....that's what LJ and TMS are dealing with.  They will handle it well; but parents want to know how it is going and what to expect....on both sides.[/quote]

The enrollment at Cooper is only up 110 students this year, and it wasn't part of a redistricting that will significantly change the demographics at another school.

The better analogy for the Jackson/Thoreau redistricting is not Cooper, but instead Poe, where the enrollment has declined by over 250 students and the poverty rate has shot through the roof since FCPS started redistricting the wealthier areas to other schools. [/quote]
