[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Campbell would lose 60 percent of its student or more if moved that far north. No longer title I. No nature center curriculum. It would be a total waste of a school. I have a kid there and without the wetland and nature center the curriculum would be trashed. Aps might as well eliminate the program if they move it. I would pull my kid because it would have no value as an option school. I know others would too, and not just the majority of low income families. The wealthier families chose the school for a reason.[/quote]

Isn’t Campbell Title I because of the large number of VPI students that are guaranteed to continue?[/quote]

So here's part of the issue with moving any option school that far north: what VPI-eligible families live anywhere near there? Option schools are all supposed to have VPI classrooms, so where are they going to find VPI kids near Nottingham? [/quote]

They will draw down the numbers and attendance zone for Nottingham, making it smaller, then they will move Montessori there in 5 years. 
I just read all of their documents, and they want to keep the “option School within a neighborhood school model” as a possibility.
This way Nottingham retains a neighborhood school of walkers, and Montessori can expand there (because the site has that potential).
