APS: Think the "no move" campaign is going to work?

[Anonymous]

Alternate scenarios from McKinley are posted. https://www.apsva.us/engage/planning-for-2020-elementary-school-boundary-process/submitted-community-alternative-proposals/

Looks like option schools are proposed for
. Reed
. Nottingham
. Tuckahoe

NVD asked staff to talk with McK parents about data. Hope this is a public meeting, allows others to hear as well since they’re throwing us under the bus.

1. Those scenarios are old news.

2. NVD didn’t ask them to consider the McKinkey scenarios, she acknowledged that they were unworkable. What she asked the staff to do was to consider discussing withMcKinley in greater depth why their proposals were deemed unworkable.

Should only McKinley hear the analysis?

They already explained it. Apparently McKinley needs it said in smaller words.

I wonder if Erica Hewitt, Mac Mirchandani, Carly Kelly, Tamara McFadden, Emily Kahoe Chen, Kim Dam, Amanda Batchelet, Kendra Ervin, Kathleen Clark and Nathan McQueen knew that their names would be released publicly when they tried to throw Tuckahoe and Nottingham under the bus?

if the did it in a webinar, we could all understand.

Or some other format. Making everything public has been helpful

Posting those emails with the names was totally passive aggressive and I love it.

It’s so interesting that McKinley only advertised their no-move scenario on their website and tried to keep their Nottingham and Tuckahoe proposals secret.

Good job, APS. I’m not all that surprised by those names. I hope they enjoy Ashlawn.

Can we look at the swap with ASFS? That seems like the best solution at this point.

Best solution for whom?

For pp.

Nope- Cherrosslyn War is over. Cherrydale won.

In one, my planning unit would be the ONLY planning unit at an ES going to a middle school. All others would go to the same — and different — one.

That’s why parents need to get off their high horse and think they have an obviously better solution. It actually isn’t that easy. There are a number of factors other than balancing enrollment that staff has to consider — where to put VPI so that it is accessible to those who qualify and other silly things like that.

+1. The arrogance of everyone listed above is astounding.

Anyone see the FAC member complain on AEM?

He stated he started this year and thinks FAC should advise staff. How often do the advisory committees meet? What is the role of FAC? Are they experts in planning? His posts are odd.

Lisa Stengel talked about working with school administrators. I assume this means principals. I’d prefer we get go=uidance from people who work in schools.

I am not a McKinley but I know some of those people on that list. The were cc:Ed on the email. That does not mean all of them were in support of the proposals. Some of them were at the meeting or on the email because of their volunteer roles for local civic associations.
