[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you watched tonight’s board meeting, it seems clear that ASFS wants to stay put.  So who exactly are the mischief makers trying to paint a picture of ASFS wanting a swap with Key?  Something is really off about this.[/quote]

There are a mix of opinions but the most vocal contingent at ASFS is the group trying to NOT swap. The earlier comments about ASFS “pushing” for a swap are incorrect.

The ASFS teachers that supported and agreed with a move according to that earlier comment were probably just humoring an aggressive parent.   The Science teacher who everyone highly values was one of the speakers tonight who did not want to move![/quote]

OK, so assuming arguendo it’s just a minority of parents at ASFS who want a swap, the question I have is, why?  Why would anyone think it’s a good idea?[/quote]

I haven’t heard anyone actually support a [u]swap[/u] because Key is bigger than ASFS and would have an even tougher time squeezing in there.

I have heard people say that it generally makes sense to have Key be a neighborhood school given the density of students right there. And maybe would not even mind getting moved there so it’s more walkable. But I can’t think of anyone actively pushing for that.

But it seems that the vast majority would prefer to keep the curriculum and community in-tact. As I’m sure every school community feels right now.

I do think ASFS and Key both have amazing programs and communities and it will be sad if they are lost completely in the shuffle.
