What do you expect from APS staff (option/neighborhood) on 4/30?

It cannot take all day to get the internet up and running. We all know something else is going on. When do they say it won't be today? And what excuse do they use?

They'll just blame the extended day issue, that their IT people needed to get that fixed first because it was more pressing to get that registration back open so they weren't able to post the analysis.

If they said their internal server with all working documents was down and they couldn't access the updated copies they needed I might almost believe it. I mean, not really, but it is more believable than internet issues.

More likely, they won't say anything at all.

Well, they probably want to have their ribbon cutting ceremony at Syphax before anyone marches on it. So, maybe after May 3rd?

APS must have hired DCPSs best and brightest.

Just the data table, not the analysis itself.

That's weird. The analysis was there a few minutes ago. I still have it open in my browser.
Potential Option sites:
? Expeditionary Learning at Campbell (no change from current designation)
? Immersion at Carlin Springs (students in the Carlin Springs neighborhoods may have
neighborhood boundaries that expand to the north (Ashlawn), and to the south or southeast
(school TBD)
? Montessori at Henry (due to SB decision)

Potential Sites that Remain Under Review for the remaining 2 of 5 Option Sites
The following sites are under close review for potential change, but note that all schools remain on the
table. This may change as staff continues to gather additional data.

Barcroft
? As a potential immersion program site, Barcroft would allow the immersion sites to align
schedules and create operating efficiencies.
? It may be possible to coordinate county-wide option school transportation for Barcroft, Carlin
Springs and Claremont, achieving greater transportation efficiency.
? Barcroft also plays a key role as a potential option school site as we explore the possibility of
reducing the proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
? The main concern with Barcroft is placing four option programs in South Arlington. Currently
two options programs, Key and ATS are located in North Arlington. If North Arlington families
continue to access option programs, then it may stress capacity in South Arlington schools.
ATS
? ATS may stay in place or may be needed for an immersion program depending on what happens
in our analysis of other sites.

Nottingham
? The designation of Nottingham depends upon the designations of Barcroft and ATS, and the
impact any changes at these schools may have in those parts of the county.
? As Reed opens as a neighborhood school in 2021, we’ll be moving students from this area of the
county. If Key becomes a neighborhood school and ASFS remains a neighborhood school, we
expect the new boundaries may move students from Long Branch, Glebe and Taylor. Taylor’s
new boundaries are likely to include students from Discovery and Jamestown (both schools are
currently home to Pre-K classrooms due to space availability).
? We need to further explore the potential impact of concentrating most or all option schools in
South Arlington. The potential demand from North Arlington students could negatively impact
South Arlington neighborhood schools.
? The immersion program would not seem to be a good fit for Nottingham given the limited
number of Spanish speaking students residing in the surrounding area.

Claremont
? As potential neighborhood schools, Claremont could serve students currently in the Carlin
Springs area.

What is this? Why is the document (and the text on the website, for that matter) so sloppy? I don’t get bent out of shape easily but I agree this this is all just ridiculous.
