[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It's a placeholder to keep Fleet rezoning from turning into the N Arlington show. People will keep going in circles talking about it and APS will just say they are not dealing with that right now. Immersion has to move. It is not attracting enough Spanish speakers at its current location to justify keeping the neighborhood from having a school. Now is the time to advocate for the best possible landing space if you are a Key parent. [b]Seems like ASFS, Carlin Springs, and ATS could be on the table[/b]. Maybe somewhere else as well?[/quote]

The problem with either ATS or Carlin Springs is that they are quite small compared to Key (75 few spots at CS, and almost 200 hundred few spots at ATS.  That's really going to hammer at the Immersion program (figures come from this table:  [url]https://www.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Capacity_Utilization_FallProjections17-26_Final_Web.pdf[/url])[/quote]

So what's wrong with moving it to Carlin Springs closer to more native spanish speaking residents?  they have lots of room to grow to make up this difference - the site can accommodate 12 more classrooms with relocatables.  Doesn't this help Key grow it's program and keep it near a native spanish speaking community?  [/quote]

You’re like a broken record, incorrectlt conflating immersion with ESL, in effect.[/quote]

huh? so Carlin Springs is not a good site?  I'm confused.  Where is a good location for it then?[/quote]
