Assuming the move we know that 1/2 of McK will go to Reed, where are the other half of McK's crowd GOING.

Also, where's the other half of Reed COMING FROM?

I've seen the various maps; just find them really hard to read.

Is there a chart? [/quote]

Probably more than half to Reed. Ashlawn can absorb some.

Regarding filling Reed, Glebe and [b]Tuckahoe have planning units nearby[/b]. There’s going to be so much shuffling around it’s hard to say who will end up where. Plus, schools don’t have to be at 100% capacity.[/quote]

Reed actually sits in a Tuckahoe unit--all PUs north and west of the site (but south of Lee Highway) are Tuckahoe.  The one Nottingham PU south of Lee Highway isn't as close as some Tuckahoe units, but there will be a push to include them since they're the only Nottingham unit that goes to Swanson (walkable).  Parts of one Glebe unit are quite close to Reed; they should swap that one out for the easternmost McKinley unit that is closer to Glebe.  Presuming the move scenario happens, I predict some tension between trying to keep McKinley "together" and assigning the Tuckahoe/Nottingham/Glebe units that are walkable to  Reed to Reed.  The staff proposal of sending about 100 Tuckahoe kids to Reeds only envisioned sending the closest/most highly walkable Tuckahoe units to Reed.[/quote]

I';m probably going to get this wrong but isn't Nottingham under capacity and Tuckahoe right at capacity? I don't see how, under any circumstance, those two are at parity capacity-wise. I'm all for doing away with all options and just make all school PUs go to the school that they are closer to but nobody likes that in APS[/quote]

Take a close look at the "Actual Reed Walkzone" everything not in the walkzone could be bused elsewhere.

Stop spreading rumors.  Everything south of Lee will be at Reed.[/quote]

I see you’re still desperately clinging to the Lee-Highway-as-Berlin-Wall argument.[/quote]
