the Key/ASFS building switch...

The swap is less expensive to the community in the long run than keeping everyone where they are.. Probably less than two years’ transportation savings to cover the cost of moving the programs.

What are you talking about? Because the science lab has a planet mural and new paint?

Are you paying any attention? The swap has nothing to do with Reed of Fleet. ASFS became a ‘neighborhood’ school when Key went lottery only. Cherrydale is pushing to be included in the zone which has no easy answer capacity wise, so a swap aaddresses boundary issues that arise solely from Key lottery change, not anything impacting other schools.

Can they put a kitchen in a trailer? Or not serve any hot food?

Yes. Hate the swap for whatever reason you want, but key is a larger building with a larger capacity to grow.

Dear uninformed,
Key has a smaller cafeteria and therefore building size is meaningless. There is no money to make capital improvements to fix this situation either so don't go all sideways on that too. I'm not affected either way but I look forward to you getting what you asked for - a crowded bare bones crappy program that has takes your child's entire elementary time to rebuild so you reap no benefits. Good for you - go swap!

Second that. You can bet your a$$ I will not support wasting my tax dollars on this misadventure.

+1000 These threads are going to be amazing in a few years when ASFS shows up and realizes what a dump the place is and that their kids start eating lunch at 10 a.m. It will take them years to rebuild what they have now-- just in time for their kids to go to middle school. I'm sure ASFS will be great again--- in about a decade but bye bye top rankings for awhile!

This swap is just a part of Dr. Murphy's plan to kill off both schools programs.

ASFS doesn't have a program. They do NOT. Moving Immersion 1 mile will not destroy it, drama llama.

Nobody calls it a public-private except ASFS people.

Wrong again. But do know how narcissistic personality disorder works and it is not looking good on you.

OMG. Nobody here cares about either of your schools. Fight amongst yourselves over a lab that is doing little more than taking up space. We have actual problems.

Yes, the parent who doesn't want their kid subjected to a bus ride half way across the county: classic NPD symptoms.
