[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know how much is costs to do redistricting?  I know that the new RM ES #5 is going to cost $35 million (or would have several years ago) if/when it finally gets built.  Curious about the cost/benefit analysis between building a new building to relieve overcrowding vs. redistricting to relieve overcrowding.[/quote]
The reason this isn't likely to happen is that it might work at the ES level, but not at the MS and HS levels.  Wootton HS is already projected to be at capacity in a few years (including post-modernization), and most of the Belward Farm property is zoned for Wootton as things currently stand.  Similarly, Frost doesn't have significant capacity.

Any potential for redistricting involving RM and Wootton will wait until final decisions are made on the Crown Farm HS site, and whether, if built, a new cluster will be created around it or not.  They aren't going to rezone kids for 5 years only to rezone them again a few years later. [/quote]
