I noticed that, too. Why not make it a countywide school like ATS?[/quote]

I felt like there was a certain disconnect between the presentations.  The first presentation seemed to say, no more neighborhood preference- so I was expecting to see ATS,Campbell, Montessori, and Immersion as options without neighborhood preference, and everything else as neighborhood schools.   Then the second presentation had this tracked approach- where you could either go neighborhood, montessori, immersion, or IB.  It wasn't clear if the elementary IB schools- Randolph and Reed would be options school and not neighborhood- or neighborhood schools that you could opt into- which seems to go right back to what they are trying to get away from in the updates to the options policy.
Similarly- it's not clear if ATS and HB Woodlawn fit into the new vision of the school system.[/quote]

They kept ATS, Montessori as ES options, and Montessori and HB as options, and jettisoned Campbell. Looks like if you don't have a PAC and half your students are fr/l, you don't get a voice. Well done, APS. [/quote]
