[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP - this is *exactly* what I am referring to. It makes no sense to me why they don't take this area and redistrict to somewhere closer where it's under capacity. And obviously, there's no classism or racism about this since, as you noted, that is an expensive area, more so than some Wootton neighborhoods.[/quote]
They are currently building a 5th elementary school in the RM cluster, so the ES level overcrowding is already being dealt with.  Similarly, JW MS has an addition being built.  The JH Science Center property development will also add housing in this general area over time, which might be allocated to Wootton.  Due to all of the foregoing, I doubt Fallsgrove will be redistricted, though the neighborhood is in fact closer to Lakewood, Frost & Wootton.[/quote]

From what I just read, the funding for the new ES has been delayed until 2017. Which means that the school cannot open until 2018 at the earliest.  In 2011, they had initially agreed to have the new school open in 2015.  This would've relieved the over-crowding in the entire RM cluster.  Not anymore.  And who knows, next year they may decide there are more urgent issues so they delay it again.

And the JW MS new addition is not going to happen for another couple of years.[/quote]
