[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may be wrong- but I actually don't think ASFS and Key will swap- although  I think it is being actively considered.  I really think they will both become neighborhood schools.  That quadrant is where seats are needed the most.  There is no land in that quadrant.  The only way they are going to get seats there is by either 1)drawing funny neighborhood boundaries or 2)moving Key.

I don't think they will just swap b/c ultimately it will not help the seat problem.[/quote]

This. the fundamental problem is more students then seats after the lottery change at key.  Right now in bounds make up about half the population, but will likely drop to 1/12 all things being equal.  That’s about 300 more kids in the shared zone to seat.

It needs to[b] move where there are seats,[/b] leave both schools as neighborhoods schools.  [/quote]

Where's that? Mars? Nobody has 700 extra seats, not in any quadrant. I think they are definitely talking about a simple swap because they cannot undertake a multi-school shuffle. In terms of community, swapping these two schools makes sense because they are geographically close together and, because of their history of a shared boundary, there's overlap on sports teams and clubs/activities that are linked to school boundary.

Haha...we need neighborhood schools there so the most logical thing to do is right size immersion and to the Key-&gt;ATS-&gt;Tuckahoe/Nottingham shuffle.[/quote]

That may help your neck of the woods but it does nothing to solve the growing Ballston area. They want ATS as a neighborhood school to deal with that. Not to house immersion. Sorry, try again.

Couldn’t some of Ballston/VA square be pulled into a neighborhood ASFS boundary? The county really needs to stop approving fill in developments without addressing the school capacity.[/quote]

With alot of the Barrett kids doing immersion at ATS that will open up additional seats for Ballston.[/quote]
