[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone want to guess what the Discovery Boundary will look like once Nottingham becomes ATS/IB?  Which PUs go to Jamestown and Taylor?  I am curious how APS will fill Jamestown when Taylor will need students from the north.

Most of non-walkable Discovery will go to Jamestown, most of Nottingham north of Lee Higheay that can't walk to Tuckahoe will go to Discovery, which will allow Tuckahoe to keep a southwest boundary consistent with the Williamsburg boundary.[/quote]

Which means a lot of families will be facing their second elementary school move in seven years, some back to their original school but many to their third school.[/quote]

I am so confused we recently moved into the Discovery area and now it looks like our current and future kids will not be able to go to Discovery.  How can the school board do this?  Our house we overpaid for will drop in value.    What can we do to stop these unfair changes?[/quote]

Your house is not going to lose value if you're zoned for Jamestown or Taylor instead. Let's not be melodramatic about the possible consequences up here.

Please tell me that upon reflection you can see that whether pp is a troll or not, lots of people in the community believe that's the way we really feel up here, and I felt there was value in pointing out that despite being a Nottingham parent who doesn't want my school to close, I can appreciate that this is not the coming of the apocalypse.[/quote]
