Just make Jamestown an Option School Already

[Anonymous]

Other than its location, it should be a prime candidate to be an option school. It has plenty of room for trailers. And it absolutely cannot be filled without taking walkers from another school. To put the icing on the cake, there is little to no development happening around it.

Once Key becomes a neighborhood school they can fix the whole Key, ASFS, Taylor mess. Kids at Jamestown can go to Taylor and Discovery.

It all makes sense now.

How can we justify a neighborhood school that just can’t be filled with neighborhood kids? Has to be part of the conversation.

And if they want to balance enrollment, having one school that they can’t fill with kids in the attendance zone makes it impossible to do that.

Nottingham is also going to lose Planning Unit 16070 to Reed- that's the one south of Lee Highway that is in the Reed walk zone. That's a pretty densely populated planning unit-- the APS heat map colors it in the 71-93 student category.

Nottingham only has 2 small buses. There is no way 71-93 kids are picked up in 16070.

This poor planning unit already got shifted from Tuckahoe to Nottingham and now they are at risk of going back to Tuckahoe -I would be loosing my mind if I were these parents...

They aren’t going back to Tuckahoe. They would go to Reed in 2021. Still way too much movement for a single planning unit, but we all know APS could care less.

Also, they want to go to Reed.

Yup. Some of will be on our freaking THIRD elementary school when Reed opens. But we will be fine. And the rest of you will be too.

^ it’s the current boundaries (various colors), density (darkness), and walk zones (lines).

They’ve already said they’re not adding any new choice programs, why do you have two EL schools there?

[Anonymous]

I assume you didn’t do any population counts for that, because right off the bat I see some schools you’ve zoned for more students than they could hold even if made out with trailers.

Since they think you need to be near a large population of Spanish speakers for immersion, I also don't think you will be able to get a reversal on Henry being an option ekementary school.
So how about:
1. Henry-- Montessor or Ats
2. Jamestown: Montessori or Ats
3. Ats: immersion
4. Carlie springs: immersion
5. Campbell or Claremont: el
The boundaries look largely the same-- is this lessening overcrowding?k

I really like this! Could we start rallying around this?

I think we will lose Henry for the HS.

I don’t think they will touch ATS because it’s so successful. And if they did, I don’t think it will move so far up there (looks bad).
