[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in favor of keeping option schools in central locations if the goal is to truly make them accessible. I think this is an APS goal, and why they took away neighborhood preference. Option schools do a lot to close the opportunity gap. I don't fully understand the perspective of those for the move. A lot of people will be affected regardless.[/quote]

agree and ATS is a much better central location for immersion - near more native spanish speakers[/quote]

The ATS location is great for an option, but the McKinley building really is out of the way unless you live in that neighborhood.  We did a summer program there and there was no good way to incorporate drop off or pick up into our commute even though my spouse and I go in different directions for work.  [/quote]

Fortunately ATS has so many applicants that they can still fill the McKinley building even if the total number of applications drops to 30% of this year's number (412 applications for 94 spots). [/quote]

Then you could basically put ATS anywhere if that’s all that matters.  [/quote]

There are too many competing needs and desires, and too few potential school sites, to ideally locate everything.[/quote]
