[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to swap. So it’s really completely scrubbed — we are buying a home in Cherrydale and are wondering when they will decide the new boundaries for the ASFS site vs still entertaining swap.

The slide makes it unclear if this is final decision for path forward?[/quote]
If you are dead set on asfs, I would wait to buy.  There won’t be any clarity until Dec of this year.
As earlier pps pointed out, immersion is likely to be relocated, so that will be either to asfs, or somewhere else in the county.  [b]Even if it’s to somewhere else and asfs stays put, a lot of the more senior faculty has/is rumored to be leaving.  So the school could be completely different since it won’t have the neighborhoods currently zoned to it and a lot of the staff that pushes the “science focus”.[/b]  It will likely be less diverse than the current asfs, look more like taylor than current asfs.  Who knows if the new pta will be supportive of maintaining the “science focus”.  Both asfs and the new school at key will be unknowns.  The chance of either of them being a bad school is low though, kind of like reed won’t likely be a bad school.[/quote]

Who you say that about not being a “bad” school?[/quote]

I wouldn't pay much attention to this rumor.  The principal at ASFS has committed to staying on and the staff that was rumored to be leaving were only doing so when the swap was going to happen. Given that it looks like ASFS will stay put and Key will open into a new neighborhood school, ASFS should remain largely unchanged as far as the faculty, curriculum, etc.   If you have to buy before they decide the final boundaries, your best bet is to look at the planning units in ASFS' current walk zone.  If you look in the current ASFS/Key attendance zone,  there is a good chance you will end up at the new Key or Long Branch. [/quote]
