The problem is, this boundary shift greatly impacts the next one.  There isn't much influencing ability left on this one; but this decision should be made with an eye to how it sets parameters and options for the next, which unfortunately happens to include the poorest schools in the system.

And to another previous post, it's not premature.  It's clear how unsophisticated and behind the ball south Arlington is on these things relative to north Arlington.  You know darn well Key/ASFS are already at it - they've been at it for almost a year.  They're still discussing the swap now even though that process doesn't start until January.

There are many factors that play a part in the next boundary round:  Barcroft's calendar, PUs "eligible" for moving, impacts of new transfer policies on the various schools, will one or both immersion programs be relocated and to where, etc.  I think it's important to start this thought process now, and push for answers to all these pieces BEFORE the boundary discussion starts.  You know the northwestern quadrant will be thinking about what works for them ahead of time.  South needs to be more assertive and not always playing defense.[/quote]
