[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tuckahoe should take some comfort in the fact that ATS came out swinging at the SB meeting last night, arguing that they cannot have an increase in their enrollment due to facility constraints, and they also can't move locations because it would change their demographics.

I only expect their voices to get louder.[/quote]

Oh well.  They’re getting an increase in enrollment, so if they have facility constraints I guess they’ll be moving.[/quote]

Let's invite them to choose how they want to handle expanded enrollment, which will be a given: Lots of trailers at their current location, or fewer trailers at a new location.

Oh, and the choice schools have to have at least the same percentage of ED students as APS as a whole, and the same percentage or lower of kindergarten- 2nd grade students held back. [/quote]

They are getting a bubble year, maybe two. That's probably it, because once Fleet and Reed come online and they redo the boundaries more equitably, there isn't a need for enrollment at any of the option schools to keep increasing until they are higher than the neighborhood schools. Unless we're moving towards an all-option model. [/quote]
