[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ATS is a choice school - the program can move, just as HB did. It is about the program not the building, right? [/quote] I am not a fan of ATS, but that location makes sense as a choice school because it has such a tiny walk zone. APS is all about walkability right now, so making that building a neighborhood school and putting a choice school where there are a lot more walkers would probably be a hard sell.[/quote] Sufficient capacity is priority number one, ideally through maximizing walkability. The question is if we need more capacity in the NE corner of the county, but have excess capacity in the NW side of the county, does it make more sense to put that capacity closer to the middle (i.e. the ATS site), or on the far western edge (i.e. Tuckahoe site). Neither school has a uniquely high-volume walk zone so most students are bussed to either location regardless. [/quote]
