[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are 58 trailers combined in Centreville, Chantilly, and Westfield.  That does not include modulars.  Assuming 20 students per trailer (and that is an extremely conservative number) that means overcrowding of 1160--plus the number of overcrowding is already over 300.

Assume 25-30 students per trailer and the number goes up significantly.[/quote]

You'd really have to probe why a school that's under capacity like Westfield has trailers.  Sometimes schools don't use space efficiently.  In some cases, schools needed trailers at one point and then they are left on school grounds because FCPS has nowhere else to put them.  You can't make a blanket assumption that every trailer has 20 kids.

Again, you can start coming up with manufactured numbers that treat one part of the county differently than every other part of the county, but you might want to be careful about the implications of that approach, because it has implications for a lot of other areas/schools as well.  [/quote]
