[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think the board has the political will to put an option school at Nottingham, even though it would probably be the right decision.[/quote]

My kids don’t go to Nottingham, but I don’t necessarily agree that it is the right decision. The only program they could move there is also the most popular and presents the best chance at a more diverse school.   Why would they move that program to a Schools where less than 4% of the kids are ED. It makes no sense. [/quote]

Well, it might not be ultimately the right decision, but 'it makes no sense' is overstating it.

The system is looking at a surplus of seats near Nottingham, and a dearth of seats near Key.  That gets them into moving an option school.    If they want to maximize walking, and nearby schools system wide- then one of the 4 nearby schools (Reed, Nottingham, Tuckahoe, & Discovery) need to become an option school.  
I would have thought it would be Tuckahoe- but I understand how the staff got to Nottingham.[/quote]

While I totally get why they are moving an option school —Key — I don’t see how that gets an option school at Nottingham. They can’t move Spanish immersion to Nottingham, aren’t going to move EL and Montessori is slated for Henry (for now).   But how do you move ATS to Nottingham politically?[/quote]
