[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a suggestion: make Claremont a neighborhood school and move immersion into Drew. Makes the most sense. It's environmentally and economically responsible plus it doesn't increase traffic. [/quote]

Let's focus on real world solutions, we know this is not on the table. They have foreclosed moving any other option schools. If they just tweak the current Abingdon/Barcroft/Fleet/Drew boundaries slightly, there is the possibility of better alignment, diversity, and even proximity. Not sure about efficiency because I haven't done those calculations yet. [/quote]

I disagree. CF has been ferrying thier elementary school kids for over 30 years. Now we have e significant student population increase, It needs to be done. The SB makes tons of promises they don't keep. Why should this time be any different? CF needs to demand this. [/quote]

Look, I don't disagree with you, but the time to be demanding this was months ago. It's obvious and I have been saying this for months to anyone who'd listen, but you didn't go to office hours and pester the SB while the Henry parents did. And they have to make the decision within the next three months. It's too late for Immersion to be moved from Claremont, because they've already voted that Drew would be neighborhood and the only other spot it could move to (Carlin Springs) is not involved in this process. [/quote]

I'm not convinced that Claremont should be neighborhood- but if you leave those units at Abingdon then there is still that possibility bc then they haven't been moved.  Whereas if they move to Drew or Barcroft then won't be able to move them.[/quote]

So then the question is: how do you fill Drew? If none of the Abingdon PUs move, who does? [/quote]

don't move columbia forest- move Fairlington the other side of 395.   its 1 mile to Abingdon, 1.5 miles to Drew.  Bused either way.[/quote]
