One way they can clean up the mess that's been made here is by freezing district merit-based qualification at their current numbers and turning over all new spots to the waitlist.

On the topic of moving Chesapeake to Houston; I'd probably prefer to go to Houston in 2018 after all of the likely glaring issues are solved and we are just left with lingering ones. Doesn't change the fact that I am having trouble going to sponsors and other stakeholders in our organization to justify that trip, or pretty much any trip that will end up costing $15k.
