[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Key is projected to have over 825 kids next year.  They are going to need a facility with a lot of room if they want to move Key.  Not sure where that facility would be.  Of course, if they move it, its possible that demand will decrease, so that less space is needed.[/quote]

Is that projection the school or the zone? Not the same thing right now.[/quote]

The school, I believe[/quote]

No, Key Immersion school is not projected to have 825 kids, and even if it had a high number, next year is lottery only so they can just shrink the immersion program for a few years.

Key the zone IS projected to have 850 kids if not next year, then soon, as much of the  neighborhood preference kids move to the neighborhood school (currently at ASFS).  Swapping ASFS and Key does not solve the over population problem. Making them both neighborhood schools helps a little, but either moves immersion to Nottingham where it will wither or to ATS and then dominos Traditional school to Nottingham which is very bad optics.

They will probably swap key and ASFS and then fiddle with the boundaries (Rosslyn to long branch and Taylor most likely). Immersion folks tend to be way more low key than the ATS crowd and ASFS is not as radical a losistic change.

Wish they they would come to their sense and re-instate neighborhood preference for Key school, and leave these schools where they are. There was nothing wrong here till they started fiddling; Reed would have redrawn western edge but didn’t need to affect this part of town   [/quote]
