[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS's enrollment forecast will be useless as long as Chadwick is involved with them.  Ask McKinley.[/quote]

Chadwick isn't involved anymore. They moved projections over to Lisa Stengle's area, and supposedly they are working more closely with County housing staff now to have one consistent set of population projections that reflects where they expect housing growth based on construction projects in the pipeline. The spring projection spreadsheet doesn't usually come out until mid-April, so it isn't late yet. The updated fall projections came out on Dec. 12, 2017 and are available here: https://www.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/FallProjections18-27_Official_Web.pdf

You can see from the spreadsheet above that they have big problems with the ASFS/Key area. I don't see how they can avoid making both of those buildings neighborhood schools with those population numbers. My guess is the Key immersion program moves to the ATS building and the ATS program moves to Nottingham-- but all that doesn't happen until Reed opens in 2021.

In the meantime, Campbell program moves to Claremont, Claremont program to Carlin Springs, and Carlin Springs program to Campbell-- and that can all happen much more quickly (when Fleet opens) because it doesn't require the new seats at Reed to make it work.

They are not going to put four of the five choice programs in the western half of the county, it would make it impossible to manage capacity. Using choice programs to manage capacity only works if the programs are dispersed throughout the county[/quote]

Not PP, but Carlin Springs isn't a program. [/quote]

PP proposed putting option programs at Claremont, Carlin Springs, Nottingham and ATS. Those sites are all in the western part of the county.[/quote]

APS staff made the same proposal, exactly, using only busing/efficiency as the determining factor. Not sure whether other considerations will mean not all of those are left in the "option"category. [/quote]
