[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The split exists at so many schools. Why is one school prioritized over others? They told us it was because having less  than  25% split was a problem. Wolftrap had 60:40. Marshall road splits between Oakton and Madison, Thoreau is a 3 way split with 5%going to Marshall. What is wrong with these people in charge. Leave the original boundaries and switch only where the a need for relief. This is not a comprehensive boundary review as it is only catering to the vocal people. [/quote]

Kilmer is the most overcrowded MS in the county and you ignored this.

The Scenario 4 proposal to move the rest of Wolftrap to Madison and all to Thoreau wasn’t born of some desire to cater to Wolftrap families. It started with the need to bring down the enrollment at Kilmer with the elimination of the split feeder and making use of the hundreds of extra seats at Madison following its expansion a bonus.

Kilmer MS
Design Capacity: 1152
Design Capacity with Modular: 1422
Program Capacity: 791
Program Capacity with Modular: 1023
Trailers: 4/Modular Classrooms: 10
Program Capacity (2023-24): 1227

Thoreau MS
Design Capacity: 1395
Program Capacity: 1379
Trailers: 0/Modular: 0

What I’m seeing is that Kilmer could use some reduction to phase out trailers, but that Thoreau is on the cusp of needing modulars and trailers, so some caution should be taken while balancing numbers. [/quote]
To add, September enrollment numbers have Kilmer at 1174 and Thoreau at 1281. [/quote]

Sounds like Thoreau got a major expansion, as did Madison, and they realized they had erred in the past in determining Kilmer’s program capacity.  [/quote]
