[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drop the "choice" - allow transfers. SIMPLE!!!!!!

Jamestown should be allowing transfers already[/quote]

why do you think that the hundreds of students who currently live in the Key neighborhood would rather 'transfer' to another neighborhood school that is a long distance from their house, rather than have a walkable neighborhood school?  
If the greatest need for seats is in the North East- Key/ASFS area, then doesn't it make sense to make both of those neighborhood schools?

There are valid points to not moving the choice schools- but allowing 'transfers' is not an easy solution.

Also- if they keep all the north west schools (Tuckahoe/Reed/Nottingham/Discovery) as neighborhood- there are going to be some awfully funny looking boundaries having to be drawn.  All those planning units that are walkable to Reed and think they are going to Reed will actually be at Tuckahoe, because Reed will have to be taking the Ballston/VA square planning units, etc-  [/quote]

ASFS & Key switch - ASFS is a neighborhood school. Doesn't that resolve the Key situation? To your point above, why would anyone want to schlep their kids to Tuckahoe/Nottingham/Discovery for a choice school? Poor kids would be on busses at the crack of dawn. [/quote]
