[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t explain why they decided to not make a decision. Halley still has an attendance island. Are they too afraid to make a decision?[/quote]

They got a lot of push back. I think for some areas they’re waiting and hoping the temperature drops? I don’t see that happening but whatever. [/quote]Note they backpedaled on changes to the Bren Mar Park split feeder by sending it to Key/Lewis from Holmes/Edison and giving it back it’s 59 sixth graders at Edison.

This is because Beech Tree and Belvedere would have split fed into Poe and Holmes from Glasgow, with Beech Tree having a High School split feeder.

But do note Poe is going to become an AAP center for itself and Holmes, which might result in Glasgow Easing out without needing to lose in boundary students.

When Glasgow was replaced in 2009 or so, wasn’t it built to hold 1500 students?

Only asking because I don’t know that school very well or how many AAP students it holds that would transfer over to Poe.

I also think that Annandale Terrace, Braddock, or Columbia should hold AAP to form greater continuity at that level so that Canterbury Woods’ 5th grade AAP students don’t suddenly have to transfer over to Poe (if they have the capacity to do so).[/quote]

But Beech Tree is still slated to be a double split feeder.[/quote]

Addressed this earlier.  More split feeders is the sacrifice they are prepared to make to accommodate Ricardy Anderson’s years-long quest to reduce the enrollment at Glasgow. That has wide community support, although there may be some backlash when they realize how it’s going to further concentrate poverty at Glasgow and Justice. [/quote]

Except that is estimated to be addressed simply by making Poe an AAP school, by FCPS's estimates.
