[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]

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

This is just another example of Arlington community member's rationale to fit what they want.
Barrett is significantly more walkable than ATS.  If a lot of walkers don't want immersion, you'll be busing them to ATS.
Immersion does not "need" to grow - it "wants" to grow.  Don't give me the waitlist argument as proof it needs to grow.  Get rid of 60-80% FRL neighborhood schools, and you won't "need" immersion to grow.
