[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a plan for expansion of Eaton? First I have head of that. They don't have any physical space to expand.[/quote]

Correct.  I read somewhere that Eaton already ranks among the lowest ranks in outdoor space per pupil and even indoor space p.p.  The only way to expand the school is to take very limited outdoor space.  The school is also on the National Register of Historic Places, which would further complicate any expansion.  (To be sure, Eaton definitely could use additional multipurpose or gym space, which possibly could be a cut and cover project under part of the playground.  But no one would want underground classrooms.)  But the real question, is why expand Eaton, when it is currently 60% OOB?  If IB enrollment is expected to grow, then the OOB number can be managed down.  Finally, one can argue that the IB number may fall, instead of grow, because a number of families in Cleveland Park and McLean Gardens are very unhappy about Eaton being thrown under the bus and dropped from Deal and assigned to Hardy.[/quote]
