[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I, for one, am so hopeful that the deal Westover got from the SB 5 years ago gets blownup over this.  It should. Conditions have changed drastically and that “promise” needs to be revisited. I agree that the second best option is to “Fleet” McKinley. Essentially give Reed to McKinley (still 100% walkable school) with a crossing guard at Washington Blvd) and make McKinley immersion. Reed draws from the East and south and fills with almost all walkers. [/quote]

There is a high risk of not being able to fill 725 immersion seats at McKinley. Now, If APS was willing to change its foreign language approach it could be done. You do not need a 50/50 split for a language school. Have lots of friends whose kids are in French immersion without any other kids who are native French speakers. [/quote]

They could move immersion to the ATS site and then move ATS to McKinley.  It would let them expand the program substantially, which would be a good thing given the high demand.[/quote]

ATS will disappear, and there’s a decent chance that a second immersion school will as well, in favor of immersion classrooms in the south. If they keep the second immersion school odds are it moves south.

Where will an IB school go is the question we should be asking, because it’s what the school board is considering now.[/quote]
