[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for posting the slides.  I'm in another cluster but always curious about boundary studies, so I looked through them.  I'm confused, and maybe somebody more knowledgeable about the area/cluster can answer this.  It looks like Somerset was ~70 kids over capacity, and Westbrook already had ~200 empty seats, but is also building out a classroom shell to add in ~70 more, leading to this boundary study and the move of some Somerset kids to Westbrook.  [b]Why in the world is the new addition being built when there was already so much extra capacity at Westbrook?[/b]  Or why, if the addition is to help with overcrowding in the area, is the boundary study limited to just those two schools? Seems like there would be higher priorities within the school system for building additions.  What am I missing?[/quote]

The Westbard redevelopment.  [/quote]

Yup.  Westbrook is slightly underenrolled.  Somerset is way over enrolled.  Enrollment in this area is increasing rapidly.  There’s nowhere to build an additional Somerset, so if Westbrook has space...[/quote]
