[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SB should hear other schools say

We support options schools, but they should not take priority over neighborhood schools, especially when data shows a neighborhood school was needed where Key sits when the revised the options policy, today and in the future.

Let’s not kid ourselves about diversity at option schools being the magic solution to demographics.  While they look balanced, the create the imbalance at neighborhood schools, like Carlin Springs, Barcroft, Drew, Randolph (more?). If the can’t move then maybe they should cease to exist.

If more McKinley students can walk to Reed then to can walk to McKinley, common sense demands Reed is a shifted McKinley.[/quote]

Option schools do not create the imbalance at the neighborhood schools you mention above. They are “imbalanced” because there’s just that many impoverished kids live in those zones. Take away option schools, those schools would still have massively high FRL. Poor people exist. Sorry if that inconveniences anyone.

It’s like saying option schools are to blame for the wealthiest North Arlington schools having practically no FRL rate. [/quote]

Opting out clearly increases FARMS, may not fix, but don’t tell us they help. Check out the data yourself.

APS needs to provide the same info for next round for all schools.  I’m ok supporting immersion.  Still don’t understand ATS and shocked they weren’t mum, moving means they continue.  IPP did find a place for shirts tucked in.  They dodged a bullet.

correction “IPP didn’t”
