[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And you forget that McKinley could loose over 400 kids to Reed, that's a lot of space and not that far from either Ballston or ATS. I think creative boundary drawing is must. We need very thoughtful dive into better data in the fall. If APS projections are correct in 2021 when Fleet and Reed are open and Drew is neighborhood we will have an excess capacity. Well if that's correct this should be able to be worked out. A few of our Board members have alluded to some crazy boundary maps. [/quote]

They have alluded to crazy boundary maps in the context of them being a horrible thing to be eliminated.  They won't do them for socioeconomic diversity reasons; why should they do them to make your numbers and enrollment in just your neck of the woods work out nicely?

Everyone seems to think that the majority of Latino families want immersion but just can't do it unless the program is in their back yard.  You're assuming a lot of the Latino families already entrenched in Barrett will salivate at their neighborhood school being taken away and a choice immersion program moving in.  It still takes 50% English-dominant speakers, too.  Sure, lots of people will sign-up because of the convenience (or because they don't know they have other options).  Maybe a lot of the current families will want to remain in the program even if it moves to another nearby facility?!
