[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isnt Key crazy over capacity though? What would adding zones do? I see the case for adding the few on the north that have low immersion enrollment anyway- to help with transportation. But doesn’t make sense to add a bigger zone like barcroft or Carlin springs - esp when Spanish speaking applicants were close to even last year.[/quote]

It's not just about adding to Key.  It's about re-doing the zones for both immersion schools.[/quote]

Here’s the document with more detail - page 6 outlines proposed zone switches - Fleet, Barrett and West would be the potential Key moves

Wow. The proposed changes would shorten bus routes, but they would make for a pretty stark N/S Arlington split.  Is that really the direction the county wants to move?[/quote]

Do you want them to move east-west instead?[/quote]

Bus routes for the kids who are economically disadvantaged aren’t super long. If parents from Tuckahoe want Immersion, they can travel. That’s called equity. Not creating two economically and racially disparate schools. It’s like, we have to do the worst possible thing in all cases? It’s not nearly segregated enough, so now we’re going to put our fingers further on the option schools to make them segregated, too? Holy hell.[/quote]
