[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a parent who will be impacted, but I keep wondering WHY APS doesn't know how many Key families would move if it moved to the ATS location.  It seems pretty darn easy to survey the current K-4 families and ask.  They aren't committed to whatever they choose, but APS could at least have a ballpark number.  That's one piece of data that makes me feel like they are being a bit sloppy and have just dug into this position, regardless of whether this whole cascade is the right one.

ASFS is vastly overcrowded, and I agree a building is needed, but APS is claiming not to know how many kids will stay behind.  [/quote]

They could survey the current Key families- but there is good reason to think they won't get very accurate information.  Right now the Key families have an incentive to say they won't move.  When they realize that their choice is actually to move or to go to their neighborhood school I suspect there will be different answers.[/quote]

But they also have an incentive to say they will move, because they want to look committed to the program. But then in actual, day-to-day practice, going to a school so far away will turn out to be a problem.[/quote]
