[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They paused the process for a year and it seems like they are rejecting the idea of WM, noting it is not central and doesn't have a large number of students in the program. [/quote]

Do you mean rejecting the idea of WMS?  Where did you see that, none of the document state anything about the final location.

Again, why the does it need to be central, because the vision board wants it? It hasn't been central for a generation, and it has no geographic requirement to be near the students.  Almost zero kids in HBW live near HB for example.[/quote]

It is not official, but they certainly suggest that WMS is not what the plan is IMO.

Look at pages 6 and 7

IN response to this question: Why not locate the program at Williamsburg where there is excess 
capacity?

APS noted: Williamsburg is not a central location, more similar to Gunston in a corner of the 
county, and Williamsburg has the smallest cohort of students that participate in the 
Middle School Immersion Program.[/quote]

Based upon their own argument, perhaps it has the lowest cohort BECAUSE it is so far from Gunston. That’s circular logic. If the program was valued by participants, location wouldn’t matter, and half the time it’s simply a way to get away from an underperforming school. [/quote]

Then there's really no reason at all to put it at WMS. There are no under-performing schools nearby.[/quote]
