[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's kind of unfortunate for the families living near the Reed school that APS is only willing to convert the building to a school at a time when a choice school makes the most sense.  In the long-run, having it as a neighborhood school makes sense and it seems a little short-sighted to look at today's snap-shot.  I don't live anywhere near there so I'm not directly impacted, but I can appreciate the frustration.  Haven't they been asking to turn that building into a school for a long time, including before the most recent elementary-level redistricting?[/quote]

Yes.  That's what's most frustrating.[/quote]

I feel like it doesn't have to be all or nothing.  It doesn't have to be a 725 seat school if that doesn't make sense for the numbers.  It doesn't have to be filled with kids from R/B while kids from Westover are all bused out.  There has to be a more creative and logical solution.

It also shouldn't be where the bulk of the $$ is being spent right now.  The HS issue matters more and, as much as I agree that the Westover families should finally get their neighborhood school, right now, I want to make sure that there will actually be seats at a school when my ES kids get to 9th grade and that the schools aren't so big that the chance of playing a sport or getting into a club are close to none.[/quote]
