I can understand the loss of curriculum, but aren't all schools in APS supposed to have some aspect of STEM or STEAM to them?  To switch school sites, does not seem worth it as it doesn't solve any problems in number of seats.  It just makes it easier for ASFS parents to stay ASFS.[/quote]

Which is why immersion needs to move west. [/quote]

No, because there is already a W immersion. If the have to move its going to be a swap and they'll have to pay to move all the things like the lab equipment and art. [/quote]

That does nothing for the seats problem. Key to ATS, ATS to whatever sacrificial lamb we come up with in the west. Ashlawn is looking pretty good. [/quote]

You guys, they aren't doing a three school swap to take the only E option school further west. Especially not if they have to do that 3-step process for all the C schools in the SW. How do you not understand this? It will be a one-for-one swap between Key and ASFS, if they move anyone at all. But they still need a fifth site because Montessori is getting moved off the Career Center site. [/quote]

It's been pretty clear that the staff want to 1.) turn Key into a neighborhood school and 2.) get an option school in the west when Reed opens. At no point did they talk about even geographical distribution of option schools as a goal. It's not practical because there isn't an even geographical distribution of elementary school buildings to choose from. [/quote]
