[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok. So as much as I love me some good Nottingham ribbing. And believe me I do; there are many compelling reasons not to put an option there:
1. Proposal to put immersion at Barcroft and leave ARS came from principals and should get a great deal of weight. How often do principals weigh in on this stuff? Most of them have worked in multiple schools around the county. They have more objective view of what’s best. 
2. Once in a lifetime chance to maybe rearrange some of the planning units in our poorest elementaries and improve outcomes at all schools. 
3. Compelling reasons to keep our options central to encourage the most disadvantaged children to attend and escape their overly poor elementary. 
4. NW population growth  isn’t going to slow down. Take transfers if there’s room for 2021-2024. You’ll need all those NW seats after that anyway.  [/quote]

Where did you hear the Barcroft idea came from principals, and which ones? Not doubting you, I just hadn't heard that before and it gives a very different color to the conversation.[/quote]
