[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found the presentations / meeting notes from the working group interesting.

1 consideration was to make Hardy a 5-8 school.   What does this do for Wilson overcrowding?

Didn't DCPS just move all elementary schools to a PreK-5th grade model so that everyone had transition at the same time?   [/quote]

Making Hardy a 5-8 school would reduce number of OOB students in the pathway. It alleviates crowding at Deal[/quote]

By forcing parents who do not want their 5th grader with 8th graders to go private?     How does Hardy having a 5-8 program alleviate crowding at Deal?    [/quote]

They would adjust the boundary.[/quote]

None of this dialogue makes enough sense to me. How would making Hardy 5-8 reduce the number of OOB students in the pathway? What does it have to do with boundaries? What school's boundaries, anyway? Would adding fifth grade to Hardy be paired with removing fifth grade from its five feeder elementary schools? Or from some but not others? Would those elementary schools then "replace" fifth grade with ....lottery PK3?? Or change their PK4 from lottery to by-right??  [/quote]
