[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anybody have an explanation of why 16090, which can walk to reed, is at glebe while 14090, which is closer to 4 other schools, is being bussed to reed?

Why not put 14090 at glebe and 16090 at reed. That seems really logical to m e. [/quote]

Bc a few crazies at McK made a stink and are shouting to not split up the school. [/quote]

It has nothing to do with McKinley. Many of the current APS families in 16090 want to stay at Glebe because they don't want to change schools in the middle of a pandemic. Go watch the work session videos because Lisa Stengle explicitly said that they talked to families in 16090 who are currently at Glebe and they don't want to move right now. I get that the preschool parents in 16090 are pitching a fit because god forbid your kids might have to move from Glebe to Reed in 1st grade, but go talk to your neighbors about why they don't want to uproot their kids right now. Distance learning sucks and we'll probably still be doing it through the end of 2021. At the very least, families want to keep their kids with the teachers and support staff that their kids already know because it is extremely difficult to build rapport with new teachers over MS Teams.

Everything is getting re-drawn in two years. Whatever they do now is just temporary to get through the pandemic. That has been made crystal-clear by both Duran and the School Board.

And they made crystal clear in 2016 that the 2018 boundaries would be comprehensive and balance enrollment. Then on 2018 they promised it in 2020. If you have been here long, you would know APS has selective memory and often makes things crystal clear that never happens. [/quote]
