[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think it would be a huge long-term mistake not to zone the deal feeders that are closer to the new wells middle school to wells[/quote]

Isn’t Shepherd the only one?[/quote]

Lafayette is 10 minutes. [/quote]

Dude, they’re not moving Lafayette.[/quote]

They have talked about rerouting a percentage of Lafayette. Which, dude, is a sound idea. [/quote]

People forget…Lafayette is the largest elementary in DC. Wherever you move it, you are taking in a huge amount of kids. At over 120 kids per grade, it could almost fill its own middle school. [/quote]

Wells is not prepared to absorb Lafayette as a feeder.  I can see taking in Shepard.  I assume the new housing in Walter Reed that is just coming online now will feed Wells via Takoma Elem.[/quote]

They can absorb Shepherd and 1/2 Lafayette. [/quote]

They don’t split ESes to multiple MSes any more. That was a decision during the last review.[/quote]

Eh. Not true. They can do whatever they want to relieve overcrowding, including change boundaries of catchment for Lafayette. One think they looked at previously was the neighborhood on Military Road being rerouted. [/quote]

This is true. Yes, they can do whatever they want technically, but the decision to feed by ES and not by boundary was literally one of the principled outcomes of the last review. Changing the Lafayette boundaries would be an entirely different thing, but any minor changes there wouldn’t look anything like splitting the feed in half.[/quote]
