[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, EVERYONE should be doing that, not just the parents who support the moves. They didn't word it "[i]help[/i] hold APS accountable", they said "hold APS accountable". Implying it wasn't their responsibility.

We will see what they actually do when it comes down to it. Will they be spiteful or constructive? [/quote]

I can’t access it. Who wrote it?[/quote]

The McKinley PTA president. Her gotcha points are that they didn't follow the boundary procedure and that it hurts poor minority kids. Apparently she didn't see the inherent contradiction in this sentence: "One of these programs, Key Immersion, will be moved into a building where it will have to try to function at 152 percent capacity. Many Spanish-speaking families won’t be able to move with Key to its new location."[/quote]

When I read it I couldn't believe she put those two things back to back.  Um, you just solved the problem!  Not everyone will move with the program, which solves the capacity issue.  They can figure out future enrollment once they see how many Key Immersion families move.[/quote]
