Keep it real Cherroslyn!

But it just makes sense to turn ASFS a walkable neighborhood school, and turn into Key a walkable neighborhood school.

No need to cut out all the "science" gadgets from ASFS - the new Key school will have a lot of young families like us who are looking forward to a walkable school and looking forward to putting our own imprint on the faciliites.[/quote]

Is there still talk of trying to move science lab to key if both become neighborhood schools? I thought it was only if it was a swap (though with a Kirkwood boundary it’s move of a program move since majority of current ASFS boundary would move to Key and almost none of current population remains). [/quote]

There was talk when the swap was on the table but nothing was set in stone-- Murphy said things would move in the swap but the projected moving costs did not include dismantling the lab.   But there really is no reason to move a science lab at this point  -- Anyone currently at ASFS who would go to the new Key school will be gone in a few years to middle school  anyway so the argument that "ASFS is our neighborhood school/we're entitled to the lab and the staff" is going to be meaningless once they fix the boundaries.  APS already has a $26 million+ deficient, so how could APS justify having to pay for ASFS to move to Key now?  Especially when another neighborhood school (McKinley?  Carlin Springs?) will have to *move* to Key, i.e., the swap is dead for ASFS but still on the table for Key.  If immersion moves, the teachers, etc. from the neighborhood school that gets taken over will have to go somewhere.  Total waste of funds for a very small subset of families (who again, will be in middle school soon enough).  Plus, everyone at ASFS hates the principal so I'm sure most folks will be happy to have a fresh start at Key with a new principal and staff.

ASFS is staying put-- the question is, what will happen to Key? [/quote]

Brand new neighborhood school. IB?
