[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently one of the properties on the drawing board is the ATS property.  Naturally, those of us with kids at ATS are less than excited about this.  (And given how bad traffic is at the location with a 500-kid school, I have no confidence that the site could handle a 1300-kid school.)[/quote]

And this is the NIMBY problem.  As PP noted, ATS is not a neighborhood school, so if that particular school is important to you, I'm sure you'd be willing to have your kid follow it to a different location.  Same thing, surely the Kenmore MS parents wouldn't want their kids to move.  The W-L parents didn't want their kids redistricted to Yorktown and Wakefield.  The Tuckahoe and Glebe families didn't want to come to McKinley.  We get it.  BUT, as a school system ALL our kids will suffer if the HS problem isn't addressed.  Your kids are at ATS now, but in half a dozen years you will be bitching that they are in a 3,000+ student school and eating lunch at 10am.[/quote]
