[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I now have sympathy for McKinley families who oppose the move (or the existing options). I'd be equally pissed if the staff screwed up data again. Did the PTA do its diligence this time to ensure the data won't be proved wrong again? Or was it 'too soft' as being accused for whatever reason to challenge the staff? Highly unlikely but still curious.[/quote]

The PTA president urged all of us to slow down and take the time to digest the information. She said (and repeated in her letter to APS) that McKinley wanted first and foremost to be making decisions based on good data, even if in the end that data means that McKinley is the best location for ATS. (And the PTA is finding problems in the data that have already resulted in corrections posted from APS staff.) The #SaveMcKinley crowd got angry that was taking too long and accused the PTA president of being too nice, so they started their own movement. Emilie, in particular, yelled at the PTA meeting that McKinley always gets screwed because the PTA doesn't scream as loudly as Nottingham and other schools. She really does see herself as some sort of Rosa Parks, as she said herself on AEM. Her most recent trashing of Ashlawn is especially bizarre, given that she lives in Dominion Hills, where half the neighborhood already goes to Ashlawn. I'm sure everyone east of Lebanon Street is going to love running into her at the DH summer picnic. [/quote]
