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-

That's such a dick move. We can debate which moves make the most sense, but the status quo is just terrible and something needs to change (even if that ends up being my school, which is on the table).[/quote]

One option is to leave things “as is.”  Makes sense to me.  There’s no compelling reason for the other option.  [/quote]
