One thing that is interesting in this presentation, is that it lists as a criteria for moving an option school  a site that has the ability to grow to at least 750 with relocatables.
This may be the saving of Tuckahoe b/c its preferred growth with relocatables is only 641.  https://www.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Facilities-Optimization-Study.pdf

Nottingham can go to 801.

What is difference between preferred and maximum? Key max is HUGE, but preferred is smaller than nottingham.  Is the lot at Key really that big?

" It’s too soon to tell if the current option school sites can meet the demand for option school enrollment. – Families have applied for the lottery to multiple schools. – Once families accept option seats, we will get a better sense of whether current school sites can meet the current demand"[/quote]

I believe it has to do with the capacity of shared spaces, particularly cafeterias. The maximum is how many seats you'd have if you look just at classroom seats, the preferred number caps this based on how many students could be served by three full seatings in the cafeteria to avoid kids eating lunch an hour after they get to school or 30 minutes before dismissal.[/quote]
