[b]At asfs there are currently five families who live in the walk zone.  Let that sink in— those guys wearing matching yellow shirts who got teachers to also wear matching yellow shirts were literally all there at that school board meeting.  There are no more of them.  And they literally are the same ten people who have showed up repeatedly at school board office hours— using maiden names and arriving separately to make them seem more numerous than they are.  This is the epitome of a minority loud voice selfishly disregarding the greater community to promote a very specific, selfish agenda.

So I think it’s very fair to ask that if they do set up a neighborhood school there, some portion of the science equipment move to different schools.  Maybe move the flight simulator to taylor.  How special would that be!  And move the aquariums to Ashlawn or key or Long branch.[/b]  [/quote]

On the other hand, maybe the poster who keeps repeatedly whining about the jerks in the matching yellow shirts is the epitome of a minority loud voice selfishly disregarding the greater community to promote a very specific selfish agenda.  We're really supposed to believe that five families train wrecked APS' plan for the greater good of the entire county by advocating for a neighborhood school? And that the county is best served by moving all the science equipment from ASFS to the Key building (or elsewhere) because the folks who live around Key may be re-boundaried for Key?  What about the families around Nottingham or any of the other schools that are going to get moved to a new school during this process?  Do they also deserve to take the science beakers and basketballs and music stands from their schools just because they contributed to their PTAs at one point? Talk about a selfish agenda.  None of this is fair to ANYONE.  We were all told, if you live in this neighborhood, you will go to school at this particular school.  Now the county wants to redo everything and move programs, and hundreds if not thousands of families are going to have to move to new schools during this process. It sucks, but hey, those families that live around Key who might all get to keep going to school together are really the only ones getting screwed because they're losing their science equipment. :roll:  [/quote]
