Of course.  That relieves current overcrowding and ups capacity.  [b]But they still need a plan to deal with Westbard[/b], and Wood Acres and Pyle are packed, while Westbrook and Westland have capacity.  [/quote]

The additional housing in the Westbard Plan area is entirely in the Whitman cluster.[/quote]

Sigh.  Yes, it is.  For now.  But if you'd read the earlier posts, you'd see that I pointed out that Wood Acres and Pyle are overcrowded, and Westbrook and Westland have capacity.  Moreover, the new residences will be closer to Westland than all but a couple of the houses in Westland's current catchment area.  Look at a map, and see how easy it would be to extend the Westbrook (and hence Westland) catchment areas to include Westbard.

Also, don't you feel a little silly posting "but those residences will be in the Whitman cluster" in a thread entitled, and dedicated to the discussion of, altering school boundaries?  The entire point of this discussion is the potential *change* of current boundaries.  Sheesh.  [/quote]

NP.  It certainly wouldn't be unreasonable geographically to have Westbard go to Westland.  Even the rest of Wood Acres could go to Westland and it wouldn't be illogical.  But it makes no sense for people zoned for Wood Acres to go to BCC over Whitman since Whitman is much is closer.  The northern parts zoned for Wood Acres can easily walk to Whitman.[/quote]
