[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the Hamm people complaining, what is your proposal to fill Williamsburg then?  Who should get bused over there?  Not your children.  We’ve got that.[/quote]

People in the Montessori middle school program who choose to be bused already.

We don't have a problem across all middle schools. We have a problem with just two schools, Gunston & Williamsburg. They are moving immersion to Kenmore which helps remove kids from Gunston (and SB member Priddy asked staff in the meeting last night that I watched if they could see what the middle school numbers would look like if they only did that move, which i thought was a good question bc none of the document showed that impact alone).

Moving the other option program out of Gunston would help remove more kids from overcrowding, and sending it to Williamsburg could help add more kids there, and they are already okay being bused bc it's option anyway. We at least deserve to see the numbers on that. [/quote]

I’d like to see the numbers, too. Looks like a lot of planning units being moved out of Kenmore to make way for Immersion, but not sure that’s necessary unless they are 100% convinced that loving immersion further N will result in a population explosion in the program? I’d think they could move just a couple out, like the APAH PU W of Upton Hills that is walkable to Swanson, to keep the population steady at Kenmore. [/quote]
