[quote=Anonymous][quote]None of the option schools want to move to Tuckahoe, and the cost to bus countywide to Tuckahoe would surely not be any less than to their more centralized current locations. The ONLY reason Tuckahoe makes any sense as an option is that there might be too many neighborhood seats in the NW quadrant after Reed opens. Moving an option program to Tuckahoe could address that issue, but it creates other issues. It certainly won't be less expensive to bus kids to that location from all across the county. And it could harm existing programs.[/quote]

If neighborhood seats are needed around Key and ASFS, it makes sense to shift immersion to the current ATS site, and the ATS program to Tuckahoe, where there will be an excess of seats once Reed is open.  Many current Tuckahoe students can walk to Reed or Nottingham.  It’s an obvious solution.  Tuckahoe boosters would do well to come up with a better solution, rather than desperately throwing out a litany of weak reasons why Tuckahoe would be a poor choice for an option school. Focus on viable solutions rather than weak defenses.[/quote]
