No, the "no move" campaign did not work.

sooooo is APS sending 44% of of Ashlawn staff to the new schools? Is APS staff sending 33% of Taylor staff to the new schools the students will attend? Mck?
Is this the plan for staff in these scenarios that people seem to talk so much about?
I'm really confused why staff are not treated as grown adults who can choose to go to whatever school they want? Including staying put if they so choose? If I'm not mistaken, APS cannot FORCE staff to do anything can they? If they were given a job at a building, can they keep it if they want? Take a teacher hired at Key Immersion, was his/her employment tied to the program or building? What does that look like when the teacher at Key wants to stay with building because it's better for their commute etc? By law, do they have this choice? My vote is let them all be adults and make decisions for themselves, no dictating to teachers/staff what they HAVE to do.

How many adults do you know who can tell their employers where they will be working, and refuse to move when the rest of the office gets transferred?

I'm a teacher and I can't imagine not having a choice in whether or not I want to stay or move. I can't see APS telling staff where they have to go. I can see them providing options to staff.

DP. I agree with you, but only to a point. If an overcrowded school gets relief and need six fewer classroom teachers, six teachers will have to move to another school. Perhaps some will volunteer and the issue will be resolved that way, but if not, those teachers will not all be given the option to stay at the school.

Um, telling teachers where to go is exactly what happened when Henry broke up.

I don’t know what the APS teacher contract (or any staff member for that matter) looks like but I highly doubt it binds them to a particular location.

This. There is no way in hell APS has locked themselves into a situation where the teachers get to veto moving around. They go where they need to go. Which, by the way, is pretty standard employment terms.

Even if you get reassigned you can apply for a transfer if something is open.

I think to some part the swap had them primed and prepped for a fight; the other schools were only recently considered for program moves. The ‘stop the swap’ apparatus just changed to ‘keep key on key’ and kept trucking.

But was that really wise? They could have accepted the swap and gotten a comparably sized building that was close enough that most of their current Spanish speakers would have stayed. Now they are spreading all these rumors trying to rile up asfs parents, saying that aps won’t say if the administration is going to move to key with the students. I can answer that one for you— no way will mb touch keys building with a ten ft pole, she will retire first. But why spread the rumor? So bizarre!

I’m waiting for civil war to break out in the Key/ASFS neighborhoods where these parents live side by side.

Other than data-dude- none of the loud key parents live in the Key neighborhood.

Most of the Key neighborhood attends ASFS. Key families are almost non-existent in our Key-zoned neighborhood.
