[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Happening to have excess seats in your neighborhood a la Jamestown or Discovery is not hoarding. No one in those neighborhoods or Tuckahoe is saying they shouldn’t fill to capacity.   Arguing against using empty seats (saying that you shouldn’t fill Reed) because you might need them later is hoarding. And that’s on Westover or whoever is pushing that argument from McKinley. Fill. All.  The. Seats. Including Drew and Jamestown and everywhere in between. [/quote]

The +133 seats in the APS zone map that everyone is pointing to is for 2023-24. Reed opens in 2021, right? APS needs to be using the planning unit level projections for 2023-24 to see where the empty seats sit. For all we know, Taylor could end up totally under-enrolled once they open ASFS and Key. You can't look at this stuff in the aggregate, you have to drill down into the specific planning units and figure out which ones are likely to see the growth between now and 2023-24 and make sure you have enough seats in those areas when you will need them. Otherwise, you have to redraw the boundaries again. Which is exactly what we are going to do for middle school boundaries in a few months. This constant boundary drawing and redrawing to correct for poor analysis sucks up an incredible amount of resources. [/quote]
