[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused about how moving the option schools would work.  Full disclosure: not in any of the potential schools being considered and unlikely to apply got any choice programs.

1)  If key and ASFS become neighborhood— the current ASFS kids who are below a certain grade since this may happen in 2021 would move to Key most likely (if currently in bounds for key).  The younger kids who are in the walk zone for ASFS but currently attend Taylor would move over to ASFS.

2). If the key immersion moved to say Barcroft or Carlin spring then the current K and 1st graders currently enrolled would have to move to the Barcroft or CS location.  Since it’s immersion wouldn’t all of APS kids be allowed to apply?  How does help the displaced neighborhood kids?  Also, how does it work for siblings?  So, let’s say the entire key immersion program is moved in 2021 to a s.arlington location.  Then presumably the current immersion students would have to decide whether to move or not to the new location.  Then they would hold a lottery for all remaining openings.  Well, I have a k and a 2nd grader but wouldn’t send kids to two different elementary schools.  So this just sounds really complicated.  I seriously do not envy everyone who has to handle all of the admin stuff.

How are they going to balance all this enrollment given that they don’t know how all the people will decide with the various option programs and then the change in locations.   This is a sincere question.[/quote]

ASFS will likely be split up. The families living the current boundary (majority of school) would likely go to the new Key. The families there from Cherrydale will likely stay.

What about all of the planning units in Lyon Village and Virginia Square currently in the Taylor boundary?[/quote]

I think all of Lyon Village (including current Taylor half) would end up zoned to new Key, if they stick w the walk maps. I have to think that would end up pushing out some units at the southern or eastern edges of the current Key/ASFS boundary. [/quote]

Yes, I think this right if they follow the walk maps. Hopefully they would  pull the southwestern corner of current Key zone (SW of Fairfax drive) into new ASFS so that school has a bit of diversity and Rosslyn isn’t sent to Taylor. If this actually happens, that is.[/quote]
