[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools don’t just swap.  This is conceptually and intellectually dishonest.  Certain families want to be assigned to a different facility than the one they chose to enroll in.  Seriously, in the history of boundary discussions, have you ever seen the mythical unicorn now being referred to as a swap?  I don’t have skin in the game, but pretending this is normal and something one just does, is ridiculous.[/quote]

What are you talking about? This all came about b/c Cherrydale wanted ASFS as a neighborhood school.

SB made it a neighborhood school but outside it’s own boundaries, and their decision to rectify boudnaries with school was to place it within its boundaries.

[b]Not much different then when the high schools were built new[/b], everyone moved into new building. Hence a swap.

Perhaps you are saying LV have been campaigning to take the Key building?  Maybe. But I have been involved in the school for almost a decade and never heard a peep about moving to Key until the SB stripped the team concept and science program status and designated it a neighborhood school outside it’s bounds.  All those donors pouring money into science lab and nature features? They had no designs on key.

This is completely different than new schools coming on line and children being moved around to attend a new school.  Opening a new school offers a reasonable ROI for a community and solves capacity problems.  This solves no capacity problems.[/quote]

It does when immersion lands at Carlin Springs.[/quote]
