[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taylor is growing and added classes this year. Not all elementary schools are shrinking.[/quote]

ASFS had to add classrooms in K and 4th last year, after school started.[/quote]

I would not be surprised if they had to do that again this year.  The new Modera building brought a ton of new families to ASFS and the new building on Washington is going to open soon.[/quote]

They planned to have space for kids from these new buildings which have been in the works for years.  [/quote]

Maybe, but the number of teachers are given based on the number of kids enrolled before the school year starts. So if enough kids enroll after teacher numbers/classrooms have been allocated, then new classrooms have to open up to accommodate them. Perhaps not as much of a school capacity issue as a classroom capacity issue, not to mention it disrupts the established kids and classes.[/quote]
It’s not even a classroom capacity thing — it’s more of a teacher capacity thing.  Hiring a good teacher in the middle of the year is hard.  Having an additional class added is usually great though since it brings down the class sizes overall.  Only downside is it’s disruptive for the kids that get moved.  [/quote]
