[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple of the schools hovering around 100 percent capacity, which feels crowded day to day, while one sits way under capacity is not a solution.[/quote]

No one wants to give up walking or commit to a long bus ride.

[b]At capacity changes year to year. [/b]

They should colocate HBW middle school students at WMS, and expand the HBW high school enrollment at the Heights. [/quote]

Does it though?  A couple of the middle schools hover around over stuffed while Williamsburg is pretty empty and just getting more empty.  We can all kick the can down the road so the Hamm people don't freak out again, but it doesn't seem like strategic decision making or good use of facilities at all.[/quote]

Hamm isn't overcrowded and the zone isn't situated between the overcapacity schools and Williamsburg. It doesn't actually need to be involved in a meaningful way.

This is what it boils down to.  The Hamm people are blocking what is best for the greater good.  There aren't enough contiguous PUs to fill Williamsburg appropriately without affecting Hamm, but we get it you don't care about anyone else and want to walk.[/quote]

Move HMW MS students first before adding dozens of new bus routes. [/quote]
