[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I may be reading this incorrectly, but if you look at the data provided in some of the DME supporting docs, it looks like there are currenly 104 IB students that could attend Hearst (obviously many choose to attend private).  And, under the DME proposal with the new boundary the projected number of IB kids eligible to attend is 140.  The school can hold 325 students.  Which begs the question, why not expand the Hearst boundary even further rather than turn Janney and Murch into trailer parks?

A suggestion to do that was vociferously opposed during the DME process. [b]The Janney boundary change was reversed completely in the Advisory Committee recommendation a[/b]nd Murch did some sort of land exchange with Hearst that I don't think had much of an impact.

Thanks to Advisory Committee member -- and AU Park ANC comissioner -- Matt Frumin.  Good work!

Thanks for punting to try to protect your political career. In February it seems he looked at the data and decided Janney could have 2000 students within 10 years, http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/362362.page#4693662. After fierce lobbying by people whose houses might be moved out of the district, he decided that the long-term projection was only 625 students and exactly nobody needed to be redistricted. Janney has what, 690 students this year?[/quote]
