[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The argument on aem was that you can’t argue “key is the only school I can go to because it’s the only school I can walk to and I rely on walking to stay engaged in my kids life”.  Since key is not a neighborhood school, and aps was proposing moving it to the current neighborhood school location, you’re basically saying that it’s impossible for parents from your neighborhood to attend their neighborhood school.  
If that’s the case, there is something really wrong beyond any sort of boundary or swap discussion.  [/quote]

Until this year, Key was [b][i]the[/i][/b] neighborhood school and ASFS was the alternative.  So yes, the swap was going to effectively move the long-standing neighborhood school to a new location.  And remember, the swap only *works* if all the Key students *don't* go to their neighborhood school, i.e., if you look at APS' memos justifying the swap, it presumes (and relies on) everyone currently at Key moving with the program so that there would be room in the Key building for a majority of the current ASFS' families.  The message to the Key families who live in the Key zone was, hey, we've got to make room for the ASFS families because this is really *their* neighborhood school and you need to move over to Lincoln Street.
