[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of people who support moving Key who are not ASFS parents (me included).  For me, the support for moving Key is based on the data- there is a strong need for a neighborhood school where Key is, and it doesn't make sense to have the neighborhood school outside the school zone.  
I think it is important to distinguish between 'pro-swap' and 'pro-Key move.'   I am inclined to think both sites are needed as neighborhood schools, but ultimately I don't think an option school gets to dictate its location.   I'm curious if anyone watched the School Board session last night where they introduced the 'instructional pathways' discussion.  I think they are dropping some broad hints about potential major changes in the use of option schools.[/quote]

I think everyone at ASFS is pro-Key move (because that area does need the seats/two neighborhood schools), and a very small subset is pro-swap.  The lines get blurred on this site, though, because no one knows whether the person posting is really pro-two neighborhood schools or pro-swap posing as a pro-two neighborhood school poster.  I know that sounds silly to say (and to write!) but I do not think we will see ASFS come togther to embrace the idea of two neighborhood schools.  Even though a majority of ASFS will go to the new school on Key together, there will still be some who want the ASFS program (and the teachers, and the lab, and the name) to move.  And, of course, there will still be some lobbying to swap the schools even though the empiracal data (whether from a population perspective or what's-best-for Immersion perspective) makes it fairly obvious that Key should move somewhere other than ASFS.
