[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently Hamm was only accepting 24 transfers this year and there were 70 applicants.  Hopefully this shows that it would be possible to fill schools with voluntary transfers.[/quote]

Hamm isn't the school they need to fill!  Williamsburg is.[/quote]

Did Williamsburg also fill up their transfer quota? [/quote]

Would be interesting to know.  Williamsburg is seriously under enrolled.

At a minimum the School Board should move the straggling Tuckahoe and Nottingham planning units to Williamsburg just to alleviate Swanson, which is too full and on track to get more full.  The Williamsburg issue is just going to keep getting worse if they don't do anything.[/quote]

Then Boulevard Manor and Patrick Henry apartments can move to Swanson, since they go to Yorktown. That solves all the most glaring alignment and capacity issues. And there will then be no need to move Hamm students across Lorcom Lane away from Hamm.

But some comprehensive boundary change at all levels will still likely have to happen at some point in time (for all levels) since APS flubbed it a few years ago; the new Tech HS will open to full capacity soon, and Yorktown can’t exceed 2,600 students on that small campus. They should not however move boundaries that were just moved a couple years prior.  [/quote]
