[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should send another Swanson PU over to WB. There is no excuse for having Swanson at 111%.  [/quote]

As a Swanson family I agree.  As a practical matter, I don't know which one.  [b]They tried to move multiple Glebe units, but those families were in the outer edge of the 1.5mi Swanson walk zone and protested at being split between 3 middle schools so they were put back at Swanson. [/b] They've moved a tiny corner of East Falls Church that bus to Swanson to end up busing to Williamsburg as a partial offset.

There really aren't any more easy units to move if you agree with the overall community sense that proximity is the over-arching important priority.[/quote]
If they were on the outer edge of a 1.5 mile walk zone they should be moved back to Wburg.  [/quote]

I think it was the splitting into 3 middle schools from Glebe that was the issue more than the walk zone.  Right now, Glebe splits into Williamsburg and Swanson.  They had proposed Williamsburg, Swanson, and Stratford and people were really upset.  The result was they actually moved all the Williamsburg kids to Swanson so now Glebe will be split between Swanson and Stratford (if this gets approved).[/quote]

I'm wondering then why APS didn't go the reverse and send the last remaining Glebe units from Swanson to Williamsburg.  I don't have time to dig into the data right now in terms of the location of those units and the population numbers.
