[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are not going to budge. They’ve sunk a lot of time and money into these proposals. They made a video! They planned this all summer. We might get a SB surprise.  They love to do that.  But staff won’t change course. That’s my prediction. And not sure they should. These are some pretty well thought plans. [/quote]

The first plan is well thought out. The second one is not. It’s just too many moves and more than they really need to do to get reasonable boundaries around Reed. It also boxes them in for planning additions/new schools in the SW quadrant in the next CIP. [/quote]

I disagree. The second plan was more thoughtful and nuanced - that's why more schools are involved!! [/quote]

Where’s the nuance in moving a program away from the thing that makes it special and appealing just to take away neighborhood seats? Taking Carlin Springs offline isn’t smart until they have built a new school or addition in the SW quadrant. That’s why. Unlike the Key to ATS swap, this swap takes away neighborhood seats. It gives the bigger building to an option program. And either they plan to shrink the Campbell boundary, in which case many neighborhood kids will have to be bused to schools outside of their neighborhood not by choice, or they will put them in trailers rather than keep them in existing permanent seats until an adopted is built.

The idea is that many of those displaced Carlin Springs students will enter the immersion program.  Then, CS' FRL goes down - and Campbell's goes up in its place.[/quote]
