[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is going on with this?  I have seen nothing.  Anyone with any info?  Last I heard was the below from September 19, 2023 with a promise to return to the issue this fall.  Williamsburg is still massively underenrolled with other middle schools over-crowded.

APS is pausing the Middle School Boundary Process and the Proposal to Relocate the Spanish Immersion Program until Fall 2024. The decision to pause this process is rooted in a strategic approach to optimize the planning and implementation of this significant undertaking. By aligning it with the concurrent high school boundary adjustments, staff will create an opportunity for a more coordinated and streamlined boundary process that considers the broader educational landscape.

This approach also ensures that the boundary process is well-framed to support the launch of the robust secondary Academic Programming Pathways. Delaying the implementation of this process until Fall 2026 allows staff to implement the changes for students entering both grades 6 and 9 by promoting continuity and providing a clear pathway for students as they transition between middle and high schools.[/quote]

I heard from my neighbors (involved w that process) that all of the planning staff was forced out last year. So it appears APS will postpone boundaries indefinitely, go at it alone at the senior admin staff level, or hire an outside consultant. Essentially it’s all up in the air and no one knows anything. If anyone has more info please post. [/quote]
