[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest goal of the school system is to educate children, and [b]ATS consistently shows the strongest scores for all economic and racial groups in the county.[/b] So it seems pretty dumb to get rid of that model for whatever 13 buses costs. [/quote]

They should implement the same model at every elementary school then.[/quote]

No, they shouldn't because it's not the right model for every student. ATS is a great program, but we didn't apply for it because we didn't feel it would be a good fit for our child. I'm still glad it's available for other families for whom it is a good fit, though.[/quote]

But who gets in has nothing to do with for so I wish people would stop it. People use it in a number of ways, one of which is fit. But for many,[b] it is a way to escap their poor or overcrowded neighborhood school. [/b]

And while it may be a great program, it is t anywhere near the largest school but consumes the most number of buses (even of the all the option schools). It needs to go in this current environment. Or at a minimum be debated. This whole thing APS is doing is a farse.  They claim they are looking at everything yet won’t take a hard look at the value of the option programs. Bunch of wimps. [/quote]

Yeah! If you're a poor kid sucking up vital APS resources, you only deserve to go to a school that you've been redlined to and you can walk there with all of your poor neighbors, even if that means your mom loses a half hour of wages to escort you there!!!!! MAGA

Get ahold of yourself. You move ATS to Nottingham and many economically disadvantaged kids won’t be able to go there. Practically inaccessible by public transit. And if their home school is that bad, maybe APS can invest the bus money it saves in it.
