[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS restricted lottery seats at Wells and Coolidge to manage overutilization...and Coolidge has 158 kids on the waiting list for 9th grade![/quote]

Wells and Coolidge is becoming more in-boundary so they need to restrict out of bounds seats more.  There is talk of adding capacity.  The first step is actually a cafeteria expansion that is already planned (the MS and HS is currently sharing at different times).  [/quote]

I'm the PP and a Wells parent. They don't actually share the cafeteria--Wells uses it and Coolidge kids eat wherever they can find a spot. The boundary study called for reducing OOB seats and then *maybe* looking at a capital expansion in the future, potentially (temporarily) using the modular swing space after Whittier is done with it. But in the meantime, the goal is to bring the enrollment back down to the built capacity (about 500 and 800, respectively), which stinks because of loss of programming.

My original point was just to observe how many kids are trying to access Coolidge, which 8 years ago had fewer than 300 students total. I love to see it![/quote]
