[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP that would work but again you are taking students from an already underenrolled school.  There is just not a demand NOW for two elem schools in these locations.  I thnk it was reopened with the idea that maybe in 5-7 years there will be more demand.  The increase in demand will come from Cap Q and the town homes and the still 400 units of public housing that are required to be rebuilt at Cap Q.  I think this is why the boundary hasn't been drawn. Until the new public housing is built, it makes no sense to include folks from the other side of S Cap street.  [/quote]

Nobody is talking about "taking" anyone from anywhere, but you might need to consider that these families don't need to be forced into staying where they are.  They have choices and agency, and in some cases they have proximity preference.  As any long-time Hill parent can tell you (as any Hardy parent can tell you, and that's clear over in Burleith and without metro service), OOB students use Hill schools as an escape valve.  Don't think you can turn it off.[/quote]
