So I think what will happen, reading between the lines, is that as an official neighborhood school, an ASFS boundary will have to be drawn. Key students will be assigned to a neighborhood school, but it might not be ASFS, as a walk/bus zone boundary will be drawn around ASFS (maybe some Key zone would be considered "bus" zone to ASFS, but probably not all of it. I don't know exactly what the new boundaries will look like, and I get that people don't like change, but this has to happen. It's long overdue. [/quote]

I don't think the boundary would look that different.  For most of the Key boundary, ASFS is the closest neighborhood school.  [/quote]

Okay, but they also have to make a boundary that takes into account the number of students living within the boundary. So even if Key is closest for many, some may not get pulled into the new boundary because it would result in excessive crowding. I don't have access to the planning unit level data, so I am just guessing here. If a new walk zone around ASFS pulls a lot of kids from Taylor, they won't be able to keep all the Key students at ASFS, too, even if they are closer to ASFS than any other existing school. [/quote]
