[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s June. Pathways will come this month?

I heard from a teacher that staff have already decided to return Key to neighborhood status, keep immersion there, and add immersion at another neighborhood school?

And preliminary No Arlington boundaries with Reed built and ASFS within its own zone are already laid out.

Any way to see those new boundaries?[/quote]

Key will be a neighborhood immersion school?  I’m not following.[/quote]

It will be neighborhood, and some classes per grade will have immersion option depending on student preference. Kind of what they had before 2017 except now an option for non-immersion at Key so no need to transfer to ASFS. [/quote]

But the lottery for immersion spots will remain open to all without geographic preferences (but with certain groups of schools assigned to each lottery location)? [/quote]

There is simply no way this is true.  This would violate the options/transfers policy the Board put in place just a few years ago.  They very deliberately got rid of neighborhood preference for option schools.  There is no way they are going to create a special Key zone that is allowed to choose either immersion or neighborhood, while the rest of APS has to lottery into an immersion program.  
There is a slight possibility that they are considering 'phasing out' immersion at Key.  e.g. they will leave a few classes of 4th and 5th grade immersion, and everything below that will be lottery.   [/quote]

Well the whole mess was caused by the updates options/transfer policy they put in place, and they have the unhappy task of moving immersion from Key completely or doing this hybrid and planting immersion in other schools to meet demand and located where ELL live.

The east part of county needs more seats, I’m sure school board will entertain your solution, but they are trying to get those seats without disrupting existing classes. [/quote]
