[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a McKinley parent and I'm in favor of this move because there are too many kids at this elementary school now.  It feels like high school for short people.  This plan makes it smaller!  Great!  Now just get APS to back up what they're doing with actual numbers that aren't screwing this community again by sending the kids into schools that are at 110% capacity.  That goes for Ashlawn, too.  Fix the problem, spread out the kids, and please for the first time in seven+ years, don't overcrowd us.  Otherwise, carry on.[/quote]

Ditto this 100!  I don't mind the shift to Reed, but I am concerned that it looks like APS might just be shifting the overcrowding onto 2 new schools.  I'm not sure about the logic of taking the 2nd largest school offline for neighborhood seats, unless they are going to treat all option school admission like they do HB (allocate # of seats per neighborhood based upon school population).  I think dissolving Key and moving to 1 immersion makes more sense, but I don't have all the data.  I don't want to point fingers at other schools, but it's more reasonable to eliminate an option school b/c the neighborhood schools are guaranteed to take anyone.[/quote]
