Boundaries and excessive transportation costs.[/quote]

NP. Yes boundaries are odd. What is the actual problem with a school outside it’s zone? FCC has a school outside it’s CITY LIMITS for years and it’s okay.

There are more buses going to ASFS that many schools (maybe all?) so exactly how expensive is that. [/quote]

Yeah, I'm with pp. You're being disingenuous or are too incapable of understanding to waste time discussing it with.[/quote]

Feel free to go start a new thread if you just want to insult people. If you want to discuss these "excessive" transportation costs then feel free to stick around.

Then go ahead and discuss them. Go educate yourself and then come back with an informed opinion. Don't sit around in ignorance and then expect everyone to take your opinion seriously.[/quote]

WTF are you so combative? Personality disorder? Low EQ? Anyway, I’ve been watching this whole saga and after we’ve gone down so many different paths I’m stepping back now and asking is it really all worth it? What exactly was [i]so wrong[/i] that needed to be fixed?

And the question is a little premature because we don’t have some data yet. 
Boundary impacts: waiting on latest enrollment numbers 
Transportation: saving how many buses? 2-3? 
Moving costs: $40-500k? 
[/quote]

What sources did you use to derive those numbers?[/quote]

Number of bus routes in walk zone for Key. 
Moving cost estimates thrown around - one was too high, one too low. Point is we don’t know yet.

It’s not adding seats to address capacity. If ASFS #s aren’t exploding then is the move (and shrinking Key) really worth the cost of a few bus routes? I think it’s worth revisiting this basic question in January when APS has time to look at numbers.

[b]Bus routes in walk zone? A walk zone doesn’t have bus routes.[/b]

What do you think the annual cost of running a bus route is? The documents are available on the APS website to calculate a ballpark.[/quote]

By swapping, current PUs within Key walk zone could walk to school ; going to ASFS requires a bus. This would be the projected savings (since Immersion is county wide, distribution of students complicates walk zone efficiency. )
[/quote]

Staff did the calculation last spring and got 4, not 2-3. [/quote]
