[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More than half of the immersion population lives in bounds for Gunston, especially the majority of Spanish speakers.  It makes zero sense to bus them across the county to WMS.

All the folks talking about moving Immersion to WMS are just disgruntled Taylor parents who don't want their kids moved to WMS, even though they were 100% fine with WMS before Hamm opened.  Perhaps move Immersion to Hamm and bump those Taylor students to WMS as is currently planned.  That would leave the Kenmore boundary intact and Hamm is closer to transit than WMS.[/quote]

That IS a better idea than moving it to WMS! But Kenmore is still better-suited/accessible for more native Spanish-speaking families, and also still more geographically accessible. But if we were doing ranked choice voting, I'd put yours as my #2![/quote]If they went with Hamm, they'd need to switch the high school immersion tracking to WL.  That should make sense as WL is projected to have more room than Wakefield, but immersion shouldn't be the only kids at Hamm tracking to Wakefield.  That would be weird.[/quote]

Disagree. Other kids split off from their middle schools to different high schools. If immersion is about 200 kids, that's a much bigger cohort than some other kids have going into high school.[/quote]
