[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything currently is based on September 2024 enrollments and program capacities.

So I guess your point is if they use stale data and program capacities quickly decline or expand due to a change in Title I status some schools could already be targets for future redistricting shortly after new boundaries are adopted in 2026.

I don’t think that’s the case with Graham Road/Shrevewood/Timber Lane given the current status and proposed boundary changes affecting those schools, but perhaps it’s more of a possibility with other schools like Gunston depending on where they land. [/quote]
Yes, they might push brand new Title I schools well over capacity for 5 years only to immediately reshuffle the next cycle. The community deserves more consideration and stability.

The Graham Road/Shrevewood/Timber Lane situation is slightly different. Graham Road and Timber Lane are both Title I schools. The scenarios remove all disadvantaged students from Graham Road. It will lose Title I status, its program capacity could expand, and it’ll be under enrolled.

Meanwhile, Timber Lane will have a 70-90% FARM rate with majority of their students coming from an attendance island on the other side of Rt-29. Shrevewood will be about 50% FARMs, so not Title I, and the 119 students who previously received services will lose them. [/quote]
