[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing to consider is that APS tries to limit the amount of times a child is rezoned to just once per level (once in elementary, once in middle school, etc). So it's highly unlikely you would be rezoned twice--both for the upcoming rezoning (to take effect in 2019) and after Reed (to take effect in 2021), because your kindergartener would be in the same level (elementary for both rezonings).

Because these rezonings happen so close together, I would hope APS would take that into consideration when making changes next spring.[/quote]

I don't think they are rezoning the N twice. South Arlington ES boundaries are changing in 2019 to coincide with the opening of the new ES, but N ES boundaries will not change until Reed opens. [/quote]

I don't think we know that for sure. In addition, the changes to Key/ASFS would be before Reed comes online, would they not?

I think we do. They changed the admission/transfer policy at Key/ASFS to take affect 2018-2019 school year I believe, but AFAIK, they are not changing any boundaries in N Arlington until the Reed school process. PP with a current ASFS student, you will not be affected.[/quote]

I think this is really unclear.  Long Branch is likely to be affected by the "south" adjustment since some of their population is across 50 near the new Fleet ES.  And the Key/ASFS shift will require changes before Reed opens.[/quote]

Not only that, it's very possibly much of Rosslyn could end up at Long Branch; they are geographically far from ASFS, so with it overcapacity they maybe zoned elsewhere [b]which has more space.[/b][/quote]

They'll have to pull a lot more kids out of Long Branch to Fleet than just the small slice currently south of 50 if they need to accommodate Rosslyn.  Long Branch is well over capacity and hamstrung by the fact that the tiny site has very little room to accommodate trailers.[/quote]

Maybe but by rolling in the former key population, total school enrollment is projected at like 180% capacity -- unless they get the buck property or something neighboring schools like long branch will have to go to a more manageable 140%.  Think remote parking lots with shuttles b/c trailers go onto the school parking lot, etc. [/quote]
