[quote=Anonymous]WRT asfs, everyone should keep in mind these three things:
1.  Most of the asfs zones neighborhoods don’t have another neighborhood school within two miles.  In a 26.2 square foot county, that’s kind of ridiculous.  Factor in how many of those families are one or no car families who currently don’t drive regularly, it’s all a big mess.
2.  If they redraw boundaries in 2019, they will be pulling kids to and from Taylor, not long branch.  All the kids in the walk zone are from Taylor, which is projected to be under capacity next year.  No way are they moving 20% of an under enrolled school to an over capacity school and not moving a similar number back into the underenrolled school, especially after what happened at middle schools.  
3.  If they do a boundary change, no way do the current transfers get to stay.  The walk zone around asfs is cancelled out by the transfers.  If they actively zone people out, no way do the transfers get to stay— especially if you look at the classist bs that goes on at that school currently.  Though those kids who are currently at taylor in the walk zone get a really crappy end of the stick.  Honestly they should wait until 2021 to do anything about asfs.  They have the ability to redo all the north Arlington boundaries at once then, and come up with a good comprehensive solution.  [/quote]
