If Hardy were to increase in size by taking the same number or more OOB students even if IB enrollment increase, then Hardy will sow the seeds of its own doom because it will lose Wilson.  Wilson is already overcrowded and couldn't take many more kids from an expanded Hardy.  This will only increase pressure to take Hardy out of the Wilson feeder pattern.  DCPS has already floated this as a trial balloon and there are many people in the Deal and Wilson communities who would dearly love to see Hardy cut from Wilson.  Hardy woukd be foolish to make itself into a big fat target for just that.[/quote]

DCPS principals are generally powerless to control the size of their school. They get an enrollment number, and if they don't hit it their budget suffers which causes all kinds of unpleasantness. In recent years, if DCPS senses that a school is in-demand the enrollment number grows and grows and grows some more. The long-term feeder implications don't matter, nor does the physical capacity of the school. [/quote]
