[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The emergency could be the overcrowding at WSHS.

They need to remove IB from Lewis, make it all AP, and then redistrict. Then the kids that are pupil placing out need to stay and more kids move in. There will be a school within a school but a larger cohort of AP students that will make Lewis more attractive. But FCPS really seems stuck on IB, I can't figure out why. It isn't working at pretty much any HS in the County.

If people want to move to private they can move to private. I think it will be a smaller number then folks here think it will be. [/quote]

Edison is adding a lot of housing to its district. WSHS has zero growth. If you think long term it makes more sense to pull from the Edison area. But we have already debated this a lot and the board just keeps leaving IB at Lewis. [/quote]

Well, moving Bren Mar Park out of Edison also frees up space at Edison, which could really use the room for the extra housing that’s going to go in there. They’ve already broken ground on a large new neighborhood of larger townhomes (the kind that will attract families, not 1-2 bedroom rental apartments) right down Van Dorn from Edison. [/quote]

Sounds like the Bren Mar Park parents are starting to worry about the current overcrowding at West Springfield almost as much as the West Springfield parents are worried about the potential future overcrowding at Edison. [/quote]

I doubt the Edison is rven on the radar of WSHS families[/quote]

Total BS. West Springfield has been offering up BMP to Lewis for many months because they are so very concerned about Edison getting 2/3 as overcrowded some day as West Springfield has been for years. [/quote]

Those weren't WSHS families.  You can ask rhe school board.
