[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][H]ow many students are supposed to be in Wilson? Does anyone know that number?[/quote]
1600 is the Wilson building capacity.  Wilson was at 1696 students in 2013-14.  Only 43 students were removed from Wilson as a result of the changes.  Lots of data available from the links in the FAQ.

This is such a good example of how inept DCPS is. They know they need to make further changes to the boundaries and are just kicking the can. How will this be addressed? Does the building not have a fire code limit?[/quote]

And yet when they tried to make boundary changes at Janney and Murch that would helped the problem, people screamed and yelled until they were reversed (only partially in Murch's case).  Politically it is just hard to do.  No one wants any changes that would move them.  And the other natural solution, reopening Western, is toxic because Ellington is afraid that any move that it might make would make it worse off.  Some large group of people will need to be pissed off in the short run.[/quote]

The Murch changes would have had ZERO impact on Wilson. In no scenario were any kids getting moved out of Wilson; the movement was from Murch to Hearst or Murch to Lafayette--they're all Deal and Wilson feeders.[/quote]

Not true.  It would have reduced the number of OOB at Hearst over time and thus reduced the total number at Deal and Wilson.[/quote]
