[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think APS or the board was hearing complaints from anyone in the former Key/ASFS neighborhood zone about having a choice between two great schools. Apparently, board staff believed families who chose Key were making Immersion elitist because you could “buy into the zone”, but maybe they really meant white families couldn’t buy into the zone in the way that they want to, meaning they don’t want to live in one of the many apartment buildings on Rte 50. Families in the former zone chose ASFS over Key for many different reasons, some of them racist and some of them not. Unfortunately, families in the former zone have only ASFS to go to now, which is a good school, but not all families want a science based education for their children. It’s depressing, but it really shouldn’t be a surprise for anyone old enough to be a parent that the people with the money get heard, and in the former neighborhood zone the people with the money are overwhelmingly white.[/quote]
