why not move ATS to Patrick Henry site and then create a new neighborhood school at ATS site? can't see the urgency of giving Montessori program its own building.

Move it to the old Patrick Henry site or the new proposed site?

I'm not super familiar with ATS, and the area surrounding it. How does that help them and that neighborhood? Where do those kids (not lotteried into ATS) go now?

McKinley or Glebe I think, maybe some Ashlawn. All of which are overcrowded.

ATS is all lottery - no neighborhood automatically sends their kids there.

this would help Ashlawn the most, Mckinley 2nd.

ATS is untouchable.

ATS - the physical building - has a neighborhood surrounding. So, it could serve a neighborhood.

I think I would be fine with ATS being moved to the old Patrick Henry site- as long as it's open to south Arlington kids first and any left over slots can go north.

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of moving a choice school south?

Not if it serves almost exclusively south Arlington kids. Relieves our overcrowding and gives us an out from neighborhood schools.

South Arlington needs seats. Moving ATS doesn't solve this problem. Moving Montessori opens space up at Drew.

Very unlikely to have such preference. There was a law suit few years back to keep it a true county wide lottery.
