[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted in the ANC Foxhall thread, but will post my comment here.

Why hasn’t DCPS looked into how many students attend Ward 3 schools, Shepherd and Bancroft that are OOB? Once those figures come in, then look to see what percentage of those kids would eliminate the overcrowding of those schools? If it’s a significant amount, then those families would need to lottery for Deal, Hardy and Wilson.

This seems like a simple task that should be understandable to those families OOB. I say this as an OOB parent who kids attend Bancroft. I guess my kids would have to attend MacFarland if faced with this decision. [/quote]

The problem is that fixing overcrowding requires a 5-10 year plan and no school official has any incentive to make a long-term plan.

Ferebee is just getting this line on his resume before he jumps to a revolving-door charter school sell-out job in a few years.
Bowser may not be around in 5 and probably not 10 years.
And the Council really doesn't want to touch this. It's a hornet's nest with no upside for them.  Better to leave it alone.[/quote]
