[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The misinformation on this site about ASFS is appalling.

No one who isn’t currently at ASFS joined the PTA and voted in the recent election. Two people who live in the neighborhood who would like to eventually attend the school came to one meeting where no election was held.

However, at the meeting where elections were held, the attendance record reached an all time high with new members/attendees who currently attend ASFS but had never come to a previous meeting. They showed up with copies of the same email (probably from the same PP accusing neighborhood people of being racist for wanting to walk to school) telling them who to vote for/vote out. Once the vote was over (and before the results were announced), they all left.

If anything, all these posts about ASFS support the need for APS and the SB to redrawn boundaries around ASFS sooner rather than later so that we can all be spared any further threads on the issue.

thanks for the accurate description [/quote]

Actually not accurate; Cherrydale parents are fine to meet with PTA and advocate for their kids to attend a school; it’s when they cross the line and recommend cutting the boundary at Barton and giving direction for children not their own that they went to far.

Current ASFS parents have advocated FOR a walk zone, and instead of kicking people out they put together a plan and the PTA recommended for making use of the Buck property temporarily to use as swing class space while this demographic bulge and rezoning morass is worked out.

That was the recommendation of the diabolical Rosslyn parents and their PTA leadership — expand into Cherrydale and make room. [/quote]

The county board has already nixed APS use of the Buck property other than for bus parking and storage for the foreseeable future. And even if they did agree to it, the buildings aren’t even properly equipped to house students, there are no classrooms and no money to renovate the buildings to create them. [/quote]

Buck ain't happening folks ... wake up and smell the CIP[/quote]

Trailers, lots of trailers in the Buck parking lot.[/quote]
