[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drop the "choice" - allow transfers. SIMPLE!!!!!!

Jamestown should be allowing transfers already[/quote]

why do you think that the hundreds of students who currently live in the Key neighborhood would rather 'transfer' to another neighborhood school that is a long distance from their house, rather than have a walkable neighborhood school?  
If the greatest need for seats is in the North East- Key/ASFS area, then doesn't it make sense to make both of those neighborhood schools?

There are valid points to not moving the choice schools- but allowing 'transfers' is not an easy solution.

Also- if they keep all the north west schools (Tuckahoe/Reed/Nottingham/Discovery) as neighborhood- there are going to be some awfully funny looking boundaries having to be drawn.  [b]All those planning units that are walkable to Reed and think they are going to Reed will actually be at Tuckahoe, because Reed will have to be taking the Ballston/VA square planning units, etc-  [/b][/quote]

That would be absurd.  Many of those houses were once zoned for Tuckahoe and rezoned for McK.  Now that there will actually be a school in walking distance you think they'd go back to Tuckahoe?  I would fight like hell against that.
