I don't see them making a walk zone for ASFS until Key becomes a neighborhood school. They need to move kids OUT of ASFS, not move more IN.

And if the whole point was to create walk zones and minimize busing they won't move the rosslyn/courthouse/clarendon PUs to Taylor or Long Branch just to change them again a few years later.

If there are any current ASFS PUs that will definitely not be Key neighborhood in the future then I can see them getting sloughed off now. But I can't think of any obvious candidates.

Yes, they need to move kids out of ASFS but why move out those who can walk versus those who are already on a bus?  Most of Lyon Village is within a mile of ASFS but yet everyone has to be bussed because they deem Kirkwood too dangerous to cross.  If Lyon Village can't walk to a school it absolutely makes sense to bus them to Taylor (same with Clarendon/Courthouse/Rosslyn planning units).  The choice is having one set of students (non-walkable ASFS to Taylor) bus or two sets of students bus (non-walkable ASFS to ASFS, and walkable ASFS to Taylor).  Isn't one of the points of redrawing the boundaries to make busing more efficient and get as many walkers as possible?

If you are looking at current ASFS PUs that won't be in a Key neighborhood, anyone around Rocky Run park is fair game-- once Fleet opens, Long Branch should have more room. [/quote]
