[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What schools could this possibly apply to? For example, isn't Woodward hosting Northwood students in 26-27 and, thus, not available for jump start.[/quote]

The Wootton cluster schools got this message for sure - both current and future. Not clear what happens if they run into lopsided uptake that creates capacity issues in specific schools. [/quote]

It also seems late to adjust teacher allocations. Who will handle the course registration of this influx of new students? Will they be allowed to go back if it’s not a good fit or they don’t get the courses they want? Will their first schooo have to cut certain courses due to low enrollment after these last minute transfers? There are no guarantees for students or teachers in this half baked plan[/quote]

Have any staff at any of these schools heard any intel about the impact yet?  At some schools where there are large numbers of kids reassigned, this could potentially make the incoming class either much larger or much smaller than planned, depending on whether more incoming vs departing kids take up the offer.  For example, both Sligo MS and SSIMS have only a couple elementary schools staying put, so they could either grow a lot if most incoming kids switch early and few departing kids leave, or shrink a lot if most departing kids leave and few incoming kids switch early.  I am sure there are other schools in this situation as well.[/quote]
