This isn't an off-the wall comment, but if those opposed let the issue sit for now, it will achieve an aura of inevitability. If they want a different outcome, I don't think they can afford to wait. They need to make their case now, while other options are still available.

Cherrydale should be pushing for two neighborhood schools rather than just fighting the building swap. I don't see how they can get what they want (a neighborhood school for Cherrydale and VA Square) without the kids from further east having a building to go to instead. The numbers don't work if immersion stays.

I believe that a neighborhood school I s always what they have wanted. When asfs turned into a neighborhood school, that was a step in the right direction. But before anyone in the neighborhood could access the school, they decided to swap it out. Two neighborhood schools regardless of where asfs ends up is the solution

‘I want a pony’ - Cherrydale

But where does Immersion go??? Near public transit (as it is county wide) and native populations seems preferred.

Rosslyn wants a neighborhood school, barring that a nearby bus ride would be appropriate, not halfway across the county.

Won't fit, too small. ASFS is more appropriately sized.

Carlin Springs. Look at how carefully the schools were chosen for the s Arlington adjustment to leave it free to receive immersion and send its kids elsewhere.

Carlin springs is the county worst offending poverty pocket. It shouldn’t have aneighborhood school. Some of the nearby native speakers will go there and the rest get despersed. That’s the solution

I can see value of option at CS to break up cluster of poverty.

I suspect two Spanish immersion programs nearly collocated in S Arlington would be a bit on the nose.

So ATS to CS, Immersion to ATS?

Is this thread racist or funny? I really can't tell.

I was going to ask, why swap buildings? I was going to read the thread but got distracted by the last two pages...

Go back to the very first post and read the memos linked there.

Neither. It's just the same old toxic Science Focus stuff meaning it's not worth going back to read anything.

I say swap buildings between Key and ASF, and then swap science labs between ASF and Carlin Springs!

On the nose...
Meaning drawing to straight a line to the CB’s terrible planning.

Schools don’t just swap. This is conceptually and intellectually dishonest. Certain families want to be assigned to a different facility than the one they chose to enroll in. Seriously, in the history of boundary discussions, have you ever seen the mythical unicorn now being referred to as a swap? I don’t have skin in the game, but pretending this is normal and something one just does, is ridiculous.

What are you talking about? This all came about b/c Cherrydale wanted ASFS as a neighborhood school.

SB made it a neighborhood school but outside it’s own boundaries, and their decision to rectify boudnaries with school was to place it within its boundaries.

Not much different then when the high schools were built new, everyone moved into new building. Hence a swap.

Perhaps you are saying LV have been campaigning to take the Key building? Maybe. But I have been involved in the school for almost a decade and never heard a peep about moving to Key until the SB stripped the team concept and science program status and designated it a neighborhood school outside it’s bounds. All those donors pouring money into science lab and nature features? They had no designs on key.
