[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the current arrangement with ASFS and KEY is such a problem that it needs to be changed.  At the very least Key should continue to be a neighborhood school with automatic access to the kids in the apartments across the street, many of whom are spanish speakers (makes for a good fit with a spanish immersion school).   I think the impetus for changing Key is a spillover from the increased demand for immersion by the neighborhoods assigned to Claremont.  Rather than messing with ASFS and Key attendance zones to create the illusion of increased equity in access to choice schools - which doesn't really seem to help anyone very much - maybe they should open a third immersion school and an additional science-focus school?

Glad it's working for you Mr. Chopra. It's not working for the entire rest of the county. You don't get special rules, though I'm sure this comes as a shock since they let you fund and build your own science lab and they won't even let our Title 1 school replace a fence that's falling down (we need approval and to to wait for Facilities to get around to it). This overhaul is long overdue. Kindly move to FFX since all you want is to prime your kid for TJ anyway. [/quote]

Geez, so angry. I'm the poster you're responding to and I'm not Mr. Chopra.  Not even close.  My kids previously attended Key, so that's my connection.  We had the option and chose not to go to ASFS.  I'm sorry you're having issues with your school, and obviously it's not right if facilities doesn't address those problems,  but changes to ASFS attendance zone are unlikely to make a meaningful dent in those problems.
