[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I missed this, but what is the APS explanation for not delaying the boundary change in light of the construction delays? That seems like a no brainer.

Who presented this information to the PTA? Was it APS staff? If so I am sure they cannot unilaterally decide to delay a boundary change, but with public pressure the Board could decide to do that. [/quote]

It does seem like a no brainer, doesn't it?  APS staff (the Asst. Superintendent, Facilities and Operations) explained that the numbers will be better in 5 years for McKinely, so they are making the change now.  Yes, that's what he said.  He also said it's better for everyone if McKinley has a deficit of 169 seats, while the schools that are losing students (and aren't under construction) have a deficit of 63 and 41 seats.  I don't like that any school has a deficit, but it's a reality.  At least APS could try to actually make it better for everyone instead of doing the exact opposite of that.[/quote]
