[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m trying to play catch up to this thread. Please excuse my lack of background knowledge on this topic.

Regarding the screenshot above:
- What does Nottingham IB mean? A new not yet existant
option school is opened there with an IB program? Can they set up a brand new IB program in just a few years?

- ASFS and Carlin Springs immersion. So that means that 
Claremont’s immersion program moves to Carlin Springs and 
Key immersion moves to ASFS?
Where do those currently attending Carlin Springs as a neighborhood school go? Does this effect Campbell’s location?

Again, I haven’t been following this thread regularly and tried to skim through the 19+ pages but there’s a lot here. 
Thanks for your patience as I try to play catch up.

Nottingham IB means (1) they are considering moving ATS to Nottingham, and (2) whether ATS moves or not, they are considering eliminating the current ATS curriculum and making it an IB program instead. It will not be a new option program, it will replace ATS (but presumably no new lottery, they'll just phase in the IB curriculum with the students already enrolled at that point).

The Key immersion program is not going to ASFS. That was the staff's original thinking, but it's not happening anymore. Claremont immersion will go to Carlin Springs, and Key will go either to Barcroft or to the vacated ATS site if ATS moves to Nottingham. If immersion moves to Barcroft, the current Carlin Springs families either get pushed to Randolph/Claremont, or maybe APS will get crazy and send them over to Ashlawn (because otherwise those boundaries will still be a disaster after this move). If immersion moves to ATS instead, then current Carlin Springs families probably get split between Barcroft and Claremont.

Campbell will stay where it is. [/quote]
