Twice in a five year period is a ton. |
The plan is to probably move cohorts of students, not isolated groups, so it wouldn’t be as disruptive as it’s been in the past. |
Don't kid yourself. They don't have a plan. Their plan now is just like they had a plan to move immersion, only to then figure out that they didn't need to based on capacity. And then they had a plan to use Nottingham as a swing space, only then to decide that APS doesn't have any need for a swing space. They literally had the whole county in a tizzy for no reason at all. |
Population growth isn't that unpredictable. It's ridiculous. |
+1. They have no plan because they have incompetent staff members. They’re purely putting out fires. |
This is an absurd thing to say. Even if a “cohort” moves together, it’s still incredibly disruptive to change schools. Sometimes it has to happen. It should not happen to the same student twice in 5 years. |
Both Innovation and ASFS include cohorts of socio-economic diversity that go to Yorktown. If all of Innovation were to all go to Yorktown, so as not to single out just the low income kids (to Yorktown), then it may make sense for all of ASFS to also go to Yorktown. Perhaps with the guaranteed option to attend W-L to keep walkability for families that value that over alignment. I read on here that Ashlawn families have the guaranteed option to choose W-L, even though they are zoned to Yorktown. Of course the ASFS, Innovation, etc., boundaries would all likely all be redrawn with the middle and high schools, when APS does the comprehensive boundary changes. And so the socio-economic mix of each school may change. And in the hypothetical scenario that Rosslyn through Clarendon get rezoned back to W-L, many of the students could commute by Metro train or bus. |
Actually, the only thing I learned is how entitled and self-centered North Arlington can be. More than I expected. |
