[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this was really just about school overcrowding, it seems like the problem could be easily solved by splitting the students among Stoddert, Janney and Hyde (keeping sibs together of course). families could get to Janney or Hyde via the Wisc Ave buses. Between three schools and the fact that all kids won't be the same age, it seems that schools could absorb this. After all, they have to absorb new buildings that are built in their district.

But something tells me it isn't just about school overcrowding...[/quote]

Sorry, but Janney is uber-full already.  Other schools would  a better fit in any case.[/quote]

Oh don't worry Janney.  You are getting your 10%.  Just like the rest of us.   [/quote]

Two points.  First, as a Janney parent I would be happy to have kids from the shelter come to Janney so long as it was part of a well thought out plan with appropriate supports.  I agree that this is no different than having kids move into the neighborhood.

Second, the 10 percent set aside for at risk kids has always been subject to capacity constraints, so I do not expect that Janney will be getting kids through that program based on its current framework.  [b]Janney is about 10% OOB now[/b] (or it was when the DME gave nubers back when the boundary review was underway).  [/quote]

Less now - 6% in 14-15 http://profiles.dcps.dc.gov/Janney+Elementary+School[/quot

OOB is not the same as "At Risk"...[/quote]
