[quote=Anonymous]The growth in student populations which are leading to overcrowding just a few years after DCPS realigned was actually anticipated long ago ... http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/392947.page
[quote]... rough math, taking into account the variables people have cited, seems to strongly suggest that the current proposal will just barely keep Deal and Wilson close to their rated capacity, and may well result in those schools being over-capacity despite the boundary changes that have been proposed.

I suppose different people could read that different ways: some might think the whole proposal needs to be reworked, others might think OOB set asides should be reduced, others might want to shrink boundaries further, and still others might want to build new schools. But for me at least, it suggests we should build into the plan some contingency terms for what will happen when Deal and Wilson are again exceeding capacity in the next 2-4 years.[/quote]
[quote]I spoke with someone from DME's office, and that person agreed my rough calculation of overcapacity is likely correct. The person pointed out that the projected continued overcapacity is exactly why DME proposed predetermined "triggers" for future readjustment of boundaries in event of continued overcrowding.[/quote][/quote]
