[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes poor ASFS and Lyon Village folks. They never get any attention or equal schools. [/quote]

Indeed.  Let's just pick up the entire school and move it for them so it's more convenient for those poor Lyon Village families.  Coach Murphy eating out of their hands and Board playing right along. disgusting[/quote]

Look, I live in an area far removed form this CF. But this swap needs to happen so that the system continues to function. There aren't that many Latino kids in Rosslyn any more. ASFS will be more accessible for Buckingham, where the Spanish-speaking ELL and ED kids actually live. Is there a better location for the school? Probably yes, in terms of making the program more accessible for ED families who speak Spanish at home, but there are other complications (smaller building sizes, complicated boundary realignments), so I understand why that's not on the table right now when they are juggling so much else. It's the wealthy families who are making a stink about Key. They don't want to be inconvenienced. Sorry. It's either the swap or they have to massively re-do boundaries for multiple schools that they weren't going to have to affect much otherwise. That's what this is about. There are too many families with kids in the Key boundary who don't want Spanish impression for there not to be a regular neighborhood school here, and too many other pieces would have to be rearranged to keep things just as they are.

and they definitely need to massively redo boundaries for the entire county to actually balance enrollment.  they simply don't have the courage to do so[/quote]
