[quote] Neighborhood Key will be integrated because of the neighborhood, Immersion at ATS will be integrated because of the location and program, and ATS at McKinley will be waaay more diverse than neighborhood McKinley. Moving schools creates an additional diverse neighborhood school vs no moves.[/quote]

Escuela Key is already diverse, ATS is already diverse. Drawing boundaries across Rt 50 could make McKinley diverse. No need to do this "lego block" shuffling and move 3 schools in the process.

[/quote]

So instead move neighborhood kids all over the place so Key can continue to attract 35 Spanish speaking K students every year? Sounds fair. [/quote]

Or face the reality that more seats are simply needed in the area. Better utilization of county resources is not shuffling entire schools to different buildings and making the decision to do this in 3 months. This is your taxpayer money too. [/quote]

Spending $75 million on a new elementary school in the RB-corridor just so an immersion school with dwindling Spanish-speaking enrollment can stay put doesn't sound like the best use of our tax dollars either. [/quote]

Even if there was a site, which there is not. Dawson’s Terrace is not viable in the 10 year timeframe (or ever). Building up on Key is not viable. Where is this magical new school going to go?[/quote]

PP here - that's my point. It'd be a futile waste of money just to accommodate a tiny sliver of the school population.[/quote]

Oh I agree. It was an add on :)[/quote]
