[quote=Anonymous]I think APS staff have a larger plan in mind that they're not revealing. The proposed boundaries tip their hand.

Adding Columbia Forest helps balance (obviously not completely) the addition of Barcroft Apts to Drew. Abingdon loses the Columbia Forest PUs, but is slated to have boundaries changed again in the next round. Barcroft loses Barcroft Apts, but will gain Gilliam Place. Barcroft is also slated to have boundaries changed in the second round.

On net, Abingdon and Barcroft are losing PUs. Both schools are also, conveniently, adjacent to Carlin Springs' boundaries.

All of this is setting up Carlin Springs to become the new Spanish Immersion. Barcroft and Abingdon, and likely Ashlawn, will pick up the Carlin Springs PUs in the next round. Carlin Springs becomes the second Immersion school. (Claremont stays immersion.)

Drew's demographics are abysmal, but this process is setting up Ashlawn, Abingdon, Barcroft, and Carlin Springs for a better balance (potentially).

(And Key and ASFS both become neighborhood schools.)[/quote]
