[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boundary re-drawing happening in 2025. New boundaries will take effect in 2026. Has to be done. Everyone should remember three things:
1. just like Social Security and Medicare, the real costs of the system are created by the demands of the privileged, not needy. People want "walkable" but demand the busses to cross the nearby artery and ironically they drive anyway.
2. you don't save anything without laying off teachers. In other words, don't get distracted by talk of closing buildings...that does not matter in the budget without letting go educators. Facts!
3. And never forget that for generation after generation, APS families have demanded buildings, option programs, highly skilled staff, and improved test results. None of that has or will change. But what has changed is that there is a growing cadre of "post-school" boomers who want money now for other projects (e.g., affordable housing, 2nd Metro entrances, trees, retiring-in-place, zero-energy living, etc.). Families with children have to push back. It's not like anyone will get tax cuts, rather, the money will just get used for other non-school purposes. Stand up to county.[/quote]

Can you please link where you got this info?[/quote]

Check out the Nov. 19 work session by APS school board. Sorry, can’t link video at moment, but it’s only a hour. Staff made presentation on boundary changes and new program capacity audit. Board knows they will be talking about closing a building maybe. [/quote]
