Then why are you posting/reading here?[/quote]

I'm just waiting for all the crazy ASF/Key to start fighting about boundaries now that the swap was called off-- isn't this the time where everyone starts complaining about the longest bus ride ever and the Cherrosslyn war (or whatever it was called)? As a neighborhood school, ASF is going to have to have a walk zone and let the actual neighborhood kids attend.  [/quote]
No one had any issue at asfs with there being two neighborhood schools— key, asfs, Taylor, and long branch all staying neighborhood.  The conflict came when people thought that only key or asfs could be neighborhood.   Most of asfs lives around key, so from that groups perspective, key should be the neighborhood school site.  Rosslyn is about as far from key as the neighborhood around asfs is from Taylor.  You can see why they thought that was the most equitable solution.  The cherry dale/va square parents really didn’t want another school in their neighborhood that they can’t attend.  If there’s two neighborhood schools, then everyone in that neighborhood is happy.  
I think the upper/lower is for key/asfs personally, it’s something people in the area have been pushing because it helps balance demographics.[/quote]

OP of #Cherrosslyn and #longestbusride here. PP is right, if Key & ASFS goes neighborhood that is a ceasefire and reasonable bus rides for all.

Suspect actual boundaries may still have some drama (I suspect Key boundary can’t include all Lyon Village and Rosslyn, so we may need an island or bus LV to ASFS). But just a #borderskirmish[/quote]
