To the person who suggested that people might voluntarily move to a different less crowded school, I think current experience is already showing that this is not likely.  People could, right now, ask for transfers to different schools and it's likely that a transfer would be allowed [b]for someone asking to move from a more crowded school to a less crowded school.[/b]  However I do not exactly see people lining up in droves to do that.[/quote]

i wasn't talking about crowed schools.

it's about filling up class rooms to the max allowed #, without having to create a new class and adding a trailer because of that, for ONE kid. it's called not wasting resources and being fiscally responsible. it's also called 'going green.' don't forget the qualified extra teachers/aid and what not they had to scrambled to hire/find for that one class.

let's say Taylor had 94 rising K kids (4x23 + 2), and Jamestown had 118 (5x23 + 3), and Nottingham had 128 (5x23 + 13). now would it make more sense to add three classes, one in each school, or get them into one extra class in any one of the schools?

i know our kids are entitled to go to neighborhood school, but what if there're parents who really don't care that much? like i said you never know until you ask.[/quote]
