What's not fair?  I have a very hard time seeing how Key will even reach 30 percent English speakers under the new proposal.[/quote]

you think English speaking kids won't elect immersion if its a lottery program?  I don't understand.  [/quote]

Make ASFS the neighborhood school for Cherrydale instead of putting those kids on a bus. Make Taylor the neighborhood school for Lyon Village. A lot of LV families will decide to send their kids to Key just to have a geographically convenient school, the way Ashlawn and McKinley-zoned families apply to ATS not because they are in love with the program but because dropoff is on the way to work.

We walk to ASF from Lyon Village.  Cherrydale and LV shoukd both be ASF.  They are right next to it.[/quote]
So is Clarendon.   They should redraw the boundary so kids that would have gone to Williamsburg middle get bussed to Jamestown--  that part of they key/asfs attendance zone is over a mile away from asfs.   
Only thing to keep in mind is that some of the walk zone for asfs is actually within a mile of Taylor (don't believe me, look at it on google maps) and is even closer to glebe.   If the school board doesn't have key and asfs switch buildings (and they are 0.6 miles away from each other so it wouldn't be a huge inconvenience compared with bussing kids to Jamestown or discovery), they should build an elemtary school in courthouse/rosslyn.  Switching buildings is probably objectively the better long term solution, it's just inconvenient and disruptive to the current kids at both schools.   [/quote]
