[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of Alcova is not going to Fleet. Wishful thinking.  The board is interested in Barcroft as an option school because it is land locked.  Randoph is projected to be at 110% from just walk zone so I doubt anyone is moving there.  Fleet was supposed to replace Henry when Montessori moved in... it was not the new elementary school promised S Arlington to relieve overcrowding.  Oakridge will need to split between Drew and Hoffman Boston with portions of Henry and Abingdon moving to Drew maybe... last night there was mention of moving Campbell to Claremont, Carlin Springs to Campbell... where does either Immersion go?        [/quote]

If they move the neighborhood school currently at Carlin Springs to Campbell, doesn't that leave Carlin Springs open to take the immersion program currently at Claremont that would be displaced by Campbell?[/quote]

NP, but, yes, that's the idea being bandied around.  Campbell to Claremont, Claremont to Carlin Springs, and Carlin Springs to Campbell.  All the Cs!  No idea whether this scenario is seriously under consideration, though.[/quote]

What would be the reasoning behind it? To get a neighborhood school at Campbell instead of Carlin Springs? In that case why not just switch Campbell and Carlin Springs and leave Claremont alone?[/quote]

Moving Claremont to Carlin Springs puts it closer to more native Spanish speakers than the current Claremont building (at least that's the case they are making- I have no idea what the actual numbers are)[/quote]

Campbell and Carlin Springs are two miles apart. Are there really so many families who want immersion but are put off by an extra two miles? I could see if we were talking about

Who is pushing for this? People who would be walkable to Campbell?[/quote]
