[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO both immersion programs should move, Claremont to Carlin Springs and Key to ATS. Carlin Springs and ATS both have small walk zones, and then Claremont could help break up the Pike/Mason intersection of concentrated CAFs. [/quote]

There are virtually no spanish speakers around ATS. And then you still need to find a site for ATS.[/quote]

ATS is not a good site for Immersion because it needs to grow and ATS is a tiny school.  Unless they are actually going to create 3 immersion ES.
What does make sense is ATS becomes a neighborhood school and Barrett becomes Immersion.  There is a spanish speaking population near here.[/quote]

They aren't creating a third immersion ES anytime soon. The system doesn't have the capacity for it. To the extent they expand the immersion program beyond its two home schools, it will be putting a limited number of classes into what is otherwise a neighborhood school with excess capacity.[/quote]

I wouldn't be so sure of that but we'll see how it all plays out.[/quote]

There's no waitlist for spanish-speaking students at either school, the only excess demand is from non-spanish speaking families. They'd have to revamp the program to accommodate any further expansion.[/quote]
