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.

I think every one of your data points is wrong. If you have a cite, please provide it.

Well, I’ll agree that they fought. But I think many that fought on their behalf were/still are very divisive, hostile, selfish and had no qualms pitting one small group of lower SES students against others of equal need. Frankly, there’s no way I’m putting my kids in the lottery for Key; the parents have been a huge turn-off and I don’t know whether it will be a healthy environment for the next few years.

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?

With sadness, I agree with that sentiment. The hysterical no-move parents were a huge turn off and did more to “destroy communities” than the move will. I seek out reasonable people who respect not only diversity, but also diverse ideas.

On to the next stages. What will the new Key be called? And I seriously wonder whether enough Key students will make the move to the ATS site to even justify keeping it as an immersion school.

A healthy environment? You’re that triggered by some parents reasonably exercising their civic prerogatives to let their voices be heard?

Will you find such people in upper caucasia?

Yeah parents have been screamed at on the street. It’s hardly confined to messaging boards and board meetings.

Wow, I’m sure this is a troll not an actual key parent. So over the top.

I believe it. Have you seen the recent posts on AEM? They are bitter and retaliatory.
