[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I’m not trying to be obtuse (I promise) but I haven’t been following this for as many years as some of you. I only moved to S. Arlington a few years ago. So the Nauck civic association wanted Drew to be a neighborhood school. Fair, but now those in the neighborhood are upset that APS is not pulling boundary tricks to supplement with kids from outside of the neighborhood? What did everyone expect here?[/quote]

I live in Nauck. And from what I can tell they ARE pulling boundary tricks to ensure the school remains at a high FARMS rate. They are pulling in neighbors that aren't attached or connected to Nauck in order to keep the high poverty rate instead of pulling in neighborhoods that are actually attached and now zoned to FLEET.

The Nauck neighborhood is small the zone has to pull from outside the immediate neighborhood. [/quote]

Yeah THIS. It's all about the shirts again. Proximity is not anywhere in this proposal from APS. They are going to bus kids from across the park rather than send the adjacent PUs. And no, the adjacent PUs from Oakridge would not help, that would be the only place with a CAF inside the Oakridge boundary, and it's walkable to that school but not Drew. This is messed up. The couple of PUs from Fleet that aren't high poverty and that are adjacent to the school and that aren't in any walk zone need to be moved into Drew. [/quote]
