[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just end feeder rights.  That should allow Deal’s and Wilson’s enrollments to stabilize.  It will also focus needed attention on schools EOTP.  A win-win.[/quote]

The problem is then DCPS would have to come up with a number for what the actual capacities of Deal and Wilson are in order to determine how many OOB kids to let in. If you've followed the school crowding working group at all, one of the issues is that DCPS has no methodology for establishing capacity of schools, and really doesn't want to. There's no reason to believe they would set the capacities any lower that whatever they need to let all of the feeder kids continue. [/quote]

Don’t forget that a lot of the OOB at Deal and Wilson are OOB students who continue from zoned elementary schools and under DCPS logic are then called ‘feeder’ students.[/quote]

A lot? Try all. Neither Deal nor Wilson has admitted kids through the lottery in years. DCPS doesn't know what the capacity of the schools is, but they know it's not more than what they have. [/quote]
