[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is probably going to get me flamed, but how about moving ATS to a bigger site like Reed?  The waiting list for ATS is ridiculously long -- its almost like HB in demand.  ATS is a good location for a neighborhood school for shorter bus times for the Ballston/VA square (that currently goes to Ashlawn) and you could either relieve crowding at glebe or have it shoot east and relieve crowding without having to move key.  Again not sure if there is the political will to do it.  
All do fairness, I live in Rosslyn, so I'd prefer that they make Key into a neighborhood school or move the immersion program to the ATS site, but I'd pick going to ATS (which is as metro accessible as ASFS) over trying to navigate buses to get to Taylor.  [/quote]

The problem with that is that NW is also overcrowded and needs more neigborhood seats. If they take what will be by far the largest school in that region as an option school they will actually make the boundaries up there even worse trying to relieve overcrowding. If an option school goes into NW, it has to be one of the smaller schools (but not Nottingham, because that school can take the most trailers to help cope with future overcrowding in the region).[/quote]
