[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yep, keep pushing the issue this fall, it's the best way to accelerate the swap. If the ASFS/Key people sufficiently disrupt this fall's South Arlington boundary process with this issue, APS will do the swap for the 2020 school year and get it over with so that it doesn't totally derail the North Arlington boundary process that fall.[/quote]
This isn't an off-the wall comment, but if those opposed let the issue sit for now, it will achieve an aura of inevitability.  If they want a different outcome, I don't think they can afford to wait.  They need to make their case now, while other options are still available.[/quote]
What other options do you think are available?   What options are foreclosed by waiting until Spring?  [/quote]
The ability to put the option schools in locations that would be best for the whole school district. Not that anyone actually believes that the current School Board or staff have the ability or desire to actually to it, but they are foreclosing on that ability because after they rezone South Arlington they are not moving those planning units for another five years.

Not necessarily. Most of what's W of Fleet won't be touched during this round and could be a possibility for 2020.[/quote]

exactly- these are the schools who have current planning units involved in the fall 2018 boundary process-  Abingdon,
Barcroft, Drew, Fleet (Henry), Hoffman-Boston, Long Branch, Oakridge, and Randolph.

To the extent people think that Long Branch was going to be rezoned to Fleet, thereby allowing east Rosslyn to be rezoned to Long Branch- yes this possibility is foreclosed, but that was never going to happen anyway.[/quote]

I think you've misunderstood the process. Long Branch is up for both 2018 and 2020, and it's tied to the planning units currently assigned to the school, not to the school itself. This fall, they could move some current Long Branch units to Fleet, and then in 2020 they could move planning units that are currently Barrett, Ashlawn, or ASFS/Key into Long Branch to fill the capacity made available by the units that moved to Fleet.[/quote]

Right, but it's unlikely that they will move any PUs N of 50 to Fleet in either scenario. They will move the LB PUs S of 50 to Fleet now, and then LB might be in a position to pick up a handful of PUs from an adjacent school. But not that many, because it has limited room for trailers.[/quote]
