[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say I’m really surprised. Do you think this is a reaction to so much community push back? [/quote] I don't think they are caving to the community so much as the community made a lot of substantive arguments to which they don't have adequate responses (how will the proposed option sites accommodate the necessary buses? will enough Spanish-speaking families from the Columbia Pike/Carlin Springs Road area be interested in immersion to justify moving both programs to adjacent schools? etc.). I think they'll hold onto their notes and analysis from this time around and quietly work in the background over the next year (e.g., traffic studies, doing more promotion in certain Spanish-speaking populations to see if they can boost interest, creating more substantive community surveys directed at where they actually need better community data), so that 18 months from now they can revisit it with a new, sounder analysis.[/quote]
