[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the other map they published from the census.  Lots of Spanish Speakers around Nottingham.

Are you planning to put teenagers into an elementary immersion program? That map looks at children 5-17, so roughly elementary through high school. The APS map pp shared reflects only the elementary-aged Spanish-speaking population in the area, which is the relevant consideration for this analysis. [/quote]

Then why did APS decide to make it an appendix?[/quote]

They are both relevant.  Its about where spanish speaking families are.  Right now the only kids impacted by this are maybe 2nd grade and below- more likely 1st grade and below.

I see that the Key parents who live near Key have switched to advocating for no changes whatsoever-

It actually shows where they were, because the data is at least two years out of date. Unfortunately one of the consequences of the ever-growing tear-down/rebuild process in NW has been that houses that previously were more affordably rentals have been sold off as tear-down lots that end up predominantly owned by affluent white people. That whole area has been getting less diverse the past several years, not more, and the diversity that does exist is a different, more affluent type of diversity.[/quote]
