[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What schools could this possibly apply to? For example, isn't Woodward hosting Northwood students in 26-27 and, thus, not available for jump start.[/quote]

The Wootton cluster schools got this message for sure - both current and future. Not clear what happens if they run into lopsided uptake that creates capacity issues in specific schools. [/quote]

It also seems late to adjust teacher allocations. Who will handle the course registration of this influx of new students? Will they be allowed to go back if it’s not a good fit or they don’t get the courses they want? Will their first schooo have to cut certain courses due to low enrollment after these last minute transfers? There are no guarantees for students or teachers in this half baked plan[/quote]

Totally agree - maybe this is overly optimistic but am hoping a silver lining is that they learn that they need to fully bake some systems and processes a bit more that can then be applied to the regional model. At a minimum, they seem to be taking a similar approach here of hoping the numbers sort themselves out and maybe this demonstrates the serious flaws in that approach at a slightly smaller and lower stakes scale?[/quote]
