[quote=Anonymous][quote] I'm not sure if this is true? I thought the OOB problem goes something like this example: 1) Number of IB students exceed the number of spots available, let's say for PK4. 2) There is a plan to open a new PK4 class. However, since the exact # of IB students that will enroll isn't known, there is some guesswork here. 3) During initial lottery, PK4 is 90% IB. 4) A few IB families change their minds and decide to keep their kids in daycare another year, or get off the waitlist at a more preferred school. 5) PK4 ends up being 75% IB, with several OOB spots open. 6) Additional IB families decide to join in Kindergarten, which leads to some overcrowding. What am I missing?[/quote] Well, how about when DCPS tells an elementary school to go over-capacity so they can accept 50-70 more OOBs? Then those dozens of extra students not only crowd the elementary, but also Wilson down the road.[/quote]
