[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why those living in the current Key zone "have" to swap with ASFS to [b]maintain their community[/b] (which seems spread out with folks who transferred in from Taylor and Jamestown under the old Team model)?  If they both became neighborhood schools, a majority would still go to the new "Key" and could walk.  ASFS could easily fill those seats with folks from Taylor and Glebe (which is going to have to be slightly adjusted since they have over 100% walkers), plus there is a new apartment complex going along Kirkwood where the old Sport and Health used to be that would bring more walkers to ASFS.   Or keep the schools where they are and keep Lyons Village at ASFS and just move the Rosslyn kids (who don't want to go/don't lottery into Key) and the few kids who live in Clarendon to Long Branch?  If you're in Rosslyn, it's easy to jump on 50 to get to Long Branch (and the Clarendon folks are just as close to Long Branch as Key or ASFS).  [/quote]

You just mentioned splitting up the ASFS community into 3+ schools and moving most of the current kids to a new facility with new administration/teachers. That makes it difficult to maintain the community.

As others have said, boundaries change.  the ASFS community will just have to split up.  You'll see each other at middle school[/quote]

Sorry, I thought you were asking why couldn’t they maintain community if we made those changes. And I agree, boundaries do change.
