[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the dire enrollment forecast, it's time to invade the rec centers (Dawson Terrace and Madison I'm looking at you) and convert to schools. Surely the old people can be accommodated somewhere else that doesn't have the requirements/restraints that a school does. [/quote]

Immersion to a renovated Madison...maybe.  Another neighborhood school for out of touch rich people in the northern white land?  No.[/quote]

Immersion is having trouble attracting native Spanish speakers to the location on Key. There's no way it would work at Madison. Honestly, there's no need for a neighborhood school up there either. That's not where the extra kids are. [/quote]

It’s a huge plot of land the county owns, which could accommodate a school. There aren’t many lots for that.  And an option school makes sense b/c there would be more seats than students. Maybe not immersion, true. [/quote]

APS needs to think more creatively.  It doesn't have to be only either a neighborhood elementary or an option elementary.  They can make smaller facilities preschool centers; or preK-K; or preK-2.  Or 6th grade centers.

An option program remotely located like at Madison merely becomes an elite choice school for those living at least somewhat nearby.  There should be greater equity in accessing option programs.[/quote]
