This is all about moving Key Immersion to make neighborhood seats. If it wasn't already option it would have been immediately ruled out by the corner of the county criteria applied to Jamestown, Tuckahoe, and Abingdon since there is no where else reasonably close to send Rosslyn and Courthouse. It wasn't an issue before because technically Key was a neighborhood school. The preferences of immigrant populations only comes into play because the program doesn't exist without Spanish speakers.[/quote]

And what happens if the Spanish speakers at those schools (immigrant or otherwise) decide they just want to go to school close to home and opt to withdraw from the immersion program?  What happens then?  Does APS have a wildly under-enrolled immersion program?

I don't think they can assume Spanish speakers will continue if they move it up to ATS or one of the NW schools.  Those can be hard to reach by public transit.  [/quote]

If people are only going because of the location, does the program need to exist? [/quote]

That's a very valid question.  And one the SB is not considering, which is ridiculous.  [/quote]

My prediction is that the majority of Spanish speakers in the Key walk zone would happily enroll in a neighborhood Key.

Wouldn’t the neighborhood Key be the moved ASFS?[/quote]
