[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasn't the original draft plan for all this for Key to move to Nottingham because a good percentage of students from there can walk to Discovery and Tuckaho, The rest would of gone to Reed with some from Mckinley.

Nottingham parents found out about this and made noise, so then went on to explore other options...[/quote]

It was actually a relatively small portion of the walkers that could have walked to Tuckahoe or Discovery. Even if they took away the overlapping walk zones, Nottingham was still one of the most walkable schools in the county, which was one of the many flaws with APS’s analysis at the time.[/quote]

I don’t really object to this part of the plan. I don’t like option 2. The need for neighborhood seats in the SW part of the county isn’t going to be addressed by moving a neighborhood school into a smaller school that will have to have a smaller boundary, and pushing off at least some of those students to adjacent schools that also don’t have permanent space. The time for this conversation is when they have the money to build a new school or build additions, and not before then. Why move neighborhood kids into trailers right now when they don’t have to?
