[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]

Question: why is APS so bad at calculating seats/future needs?   Are less families moving to WMS/DHMS?   Is this driven in part by the exodus of North Arlington families to private school?   Does APS track or publish that information? [/quote]

Just my observations watching this over many years.

1.  Covid definitely impacted things.
2.  In past boundary adjustments, the School Board responds to the people screaming in their faces right in the moment.  This was the case with the boundary adjustments when Hamm was opened.  Hamm never had enough kids and Swanson had too many.  People screamed about not leaving Swanson.  Same issue with Cardinal.  The McKinley community screamed and yelled to stay together and give it a couple years that school will be overcrowded.  The problem is this thread.  What's going on right now.  Listening to current families over what makes sense longer-term.[/quote]
