[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel a bit blindsided by this.  There is already a recommendation before any community engagement?  This should be part of any MS boundary process.  The Montessori program is also at Gunston.  I share the concerns already voiced about how well Gunston has integrated the immersion program into the school.  Montessori is a stand alone program so if they need more space it would make more sense to me for that one to move. [/quote]

Pandemic killed community engagement. [/quote]
A silver lining of the pandemic! Thank goodness![/quote]

Seriously.  Community feedback is 90% people upset their kid's school will change.  Which makes sense!  No one really wants that, and it's the hardest part of the boundary change needs.  But.  When we bedn to that loud noise, moves that NEED to happen, don't.  I think APS relies WAY too much on the loud voices.  Maybe 10% of feedback is useful.

They cave to "feedback" and everyone else sits around saying "huh why didn't they do X which makes the most sense?"

We are an Immersion family, and yes having the rising 8th grade class move with SUCK.  I completely agree with that.  But they will move with their cohort and people they share multiple classes with.  We are committed to Immersion and will follow it anywhere they move it.  But this move is easy for me because my kids are still in elementary.[/quote]

Yes, it would be an easy move for you because your kids are still in elementary.  :roll: [/quote]

Ok so what solution can you offer that NEVER results in anyone moving ever? [/quote]
