[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]

My understanding is that ASFS wants to maintain the status quo: stay exactly where they are, and mostly keep the current boundary (the Key zone). They've seen what an ASFS neighborhood boundary would probably be, and most of the current families would not be in it. I also think if they have to choose between staying together but being moved to a new building, or keeping the building but having most of their students rezoned to another school much further away, they'd prefer the swap.

I think it's not about the lab, but about keeping the community mostly together. [/quote]
