[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He may be right.  If they were just switching ATS with Key they could say it’s an option location issue, but declaring that all of McKinley’s planning units are being reassigned sounds more like a boundary change.  What procedural defect is being claimed?  Even though they’ve called it not a boundary process, it does seem like they’ve given tons of notice and opportunity to comment etc., and presumably that’s basically what is required. That, and a school board vote.  The proposed swap was procedurally defective because they let the superintendent declare it a go, when it probably qualified as a boundary change thus necessitating a school board vote.    Does the failure to call it a boundary decision create a problem?  [/quote]
[b]The swap would not have been a boundary change because ASFS' boundary would have remained the same.  They just would have gone to a different building.[/b][/quote]

Do you think they would have stopped the swap if they hadn’t looked at the projections and realized they needed two neighborhood schools? I’m not sure. [/quote]

Not entirely true.  There was no ASFS boundary until recently-- it was the Key attendance zone. The current 2nd-5th grades started at Key when it was a neighborhood school.  Yes, some chose to go there for immersion, but some chose it for the location/it was their neighborhood school.  So swapping it would have been a boundary change for them.  And even though the neighborhood around ASFS is zoned to a different school, for many years until Key became an option only school, the ASFS neighborhood kids could transfer into ASFS.  ASFS was always a neighborhood (i.e., non-option) school with just some screwed up boundaries because APS couldn't force those who lived in the Key attendance zone to go to Key.
