[quote=Anonymous]"Obviously the situation at Deal and Wilson is unsustainable. Did that account for most of the drive behind the boundary assignments?" No, my understanding (going back at least to the Fenty administration and my guess is to the Williams administration) is that the boundary issue was raised due to the (financial) need to close the many underused schools in other parts of town, and to then to figure out how to restructure boundaries to best fit the children into the remaining schools. The overcrowding in NWDC is a newer phenomenon that resulted from a min-baby boom + recession and parents being priced out of privates + growing interest in staying in the city to avoid long commutes.[/quote]
