[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It probably crashed because so many people were looking at it!

I wish they put numbers with this showing how many kids are at each school.

Speaking of, when are the Sept. enrollment numbers coming out? I keep looking. They are normally posted by now. Makes me wonder what's up.[/quote]

There’s no point in giving detailed data for the map because it’s not the start of a boundary discussion that they’ll be working from.  It’s a rough “here’s what it would look like if we just balanced enrollment and didn’t move option schools, so assume all neighborhood schools would be at the same % capacity and then do the math if you feel the need to know how many students would be at each school.[/quote]

I'm asking because I know Fleet is around 650 this year so it's about 100 students under. But the map shows them adding much of Alcova Heights to Fleet plus going north of 50 to pull in kids there. When Gilliam place opens, that brings 40-50 new kids to Fleet (as I recall). I was surprised they could make the boundaries that much larger. But they did give Fleet some Montessori pre-K seats, so maybe they are taking those away? I just like to understand their assumptions. We know they are not always great with numbers. [/quote]
