Why are some of the Districts schools under-enrolled?
In an open-choice system, there will be schools that are under-enrolled and others that have bursting enrollments. This shift in enrollment happens for a number of different reasons: population changes, neighborhood changes that affect the utilization of schools, families that move, families that choose to take advantage of academic options outside of their neighborhood, etc. Therefore, the District must react to changes in enrollment by adding or reducing capacity where needed.
