[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sometimes feel there is someone pulling us by pretending to be from Key, to be as tone deaf as this. Same as the PPs who complained about overcrowding at ATS... can these people be for real?? [/quote]
wait, why can't people complain about overcrowding at ATS be 'for real'? it is over capacity as far as i know and has many trailers.[/quote]

I don't think the larger class sizes at ATS are permanent though. They added larger class sizes right now because they had to figure out a way to funnel more kids away from McKinley, Glebe, and Ashlawn-- all of which are out of space, even with trailers. The transfer report will show you that about 1/4 of ATS pulls from those three school boundaries, which makes sense given the current ATS location. Once Reed opens, I thought the plan is for ATS to go back to being smaller. That's also why APS was eyeing the Nottingham site location last year as a possible location switch-- that's one of the smaller elementary school buildings, but it does have capacity for trailers if ATS needs to ramp up enrollment in the future again to help with another population boom. APS staff explained that pretty clearly at one of the work sessions. [/quote]

But they also said in recent work sessions that we are going to need to add capacity to every school that isn't currently at 752. So I would guess that ATS will not scale back down. [/quote]

It depends on the facility that houses it. They will size the program to fit the facility. They don't have that luxury with neighborhood schools.

Right, and I'd expect them to increase capacity at every facility that currently isn't at 752.[/quote]
