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.

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?

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

So then why are we accommodating by kicking out 2 other schools?[/quote]

You’re right, we should just dissolve the immersion program at Key and return it to neighborhood that way.[/quote]
Then we can dissolve Claremont and relieve overcrowding at Abingdon. Next step, dissolve the other option schools[/quote]

I can’t tell if this person is trying to scare us in thinking options may go, or actually supports that position?

That said after all this drama, I’m ready to let options go. Though I appreciate ATS accommodating more than most. [/quote]

I’m not serious... yet. I might become serious if people continue to insist the special option school flowers can’t thrive anywhere but the buildings they are in right now. Sorry, no crying about your county provided bus ride if you’ve chosen to go the option school route. [/quote]

DP here - I share that sentiment.  I'm also sick of how the children will be harmed for life if they don't continue in their parent-chosen option programs, which basically says all the rest of our kids are inferior and receiving inferior educations that don't serve them well.  If your kid is so fragile they can't succeed in a neighborhood school with everyone else, then perhaps you should be sending them to ACTUAL private schools.[/quote]
