[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the way, looking at the projections in the Master Facilities Plan (page 55ish of http://dc.gov/DC/DME/Media%20Releases/newsroom_archive/Press%20Releases/Final%202013%20DC%20Public%20Education%20Plan.pdf)

Holy shiite Spring Valley, Wesley Heights and Palisades are predicted to explode with small children (clusters 14 and 15). They're predicted to go from 1592 small children today to 4122 in 2022. My god that's crazy. Almost a 3-fold increase within a decade. Umm, paging the Old Hardy school. Old Hardy School, you're needed at the delivery room. [/quote]

Well, not necessarily. And if that doesn't turn out to be the case, you can see an absolute time bomb ticking just over the horizon. Those numbers dwarf anything going on in Janney and other areas.

Suppose even a small fraction of those kids decide to stay on at Key, Mann or Hardy. Goodbye OOB and Hello "Just like Deal, those rich people want to keep our kids out cries."

I would love to see DC's projections in the past, but I'm guessing they severely underforecasted recent upticks in Janney and Key usage. They probably will with Mann too. [/quote]
