Any updates from the meeting at Kenmore this afternoon? Were there any chance to have questions from the audience?[/quote]

Bump?[/quote]

I was there with the Ashlawn cohort. I think there were maybe 4 Taylor parents? Staff did answer questions but wouldn’t commit to anything. It does appear that Kenmore is a done deal, whether anyone thinks that’s a good plan or not.[/quote]

Did they say why?[/quote]

Because the immersion “visioning” committee concluded that the program should be at Kenmore or Jefferson and Jefferson already has the IB program. Why they are prioritizing the conclusion of a random, un-elected group of stakeholders they did not explain although my friend said she asked the question. Someone from our school asked about moving immersion to Williamsburg and avoiding the domino effect that Kenmore will cause and that got no traction. Staff seems entirely convinced that immersion needs to be given the location their “visioning” committee wants.[/quote]

A language program makes more sense at Jefferson. It dovetails with IB, rather than competes with the STEAM focus at Kenmore. Also, Carlin Springs cannot take that much additional traffic. What a nightmare![/quote]
