[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read the McKinley letter, it’s pretty clear they didn’t do their math.  They suggest the data would show that after Reed opens the bulk of the excess seats in Zone 1 would be located over Jamestown, Discovery, Nottingham and Tuckahoe, but if you run the numbers based on APS’s published projections, it’s clear the bulk of the excess will be over McKinley, Reed and Glebe.[/quote]

What McKinley Letter?  Can you post?[/quote]

What are you talking about? Option 1 has Reed at 97%, Ashlawn at 91 and Glebe at 92. Contrast that with Tuckahoe at 83%, Nottingham at 85, Discovery at 80(!) and Jamestown at 89. The seats are in the far N with the $$. [/quote]

Immediately after the redrawing, but not by 2023-24, which is the time horizon they’re looking at.[/quote]

Also, McKinley fudged the numbers by pulling out all pre-k classes.  McKinley doesn’t have pre-k, so the numbers look more favorable to their position if you strip them out for everyone rather than looking at the real numbers.[/quote]

But are they going to put income qualified VPI classes in the far north schools and BUS kids there, because they don’t live anywhere N of Lee Hwy? If they are, just to fill seats, or for diversity’s sake, maybe their arguments that this plan will save busing costs won’t be accurate.[/quote]
