[quote=Anonymous][quote]Agreed. Change is hard for [i]the parents[/i] going through it, but the kids will be fine. The decisions being made now are for the benefit of the system as a whole. If moves and changes were always delayed because they are unpopular with current parents, then no necessary changes would EVER be made in our rapidly growing system.

Get a grip, McKinley, ATS, and Key.

And ASFS.

Though none of them seem particularly strong at the getting of grips.

Huh? Where is ASFS losing it?  They just wanted another neighborhood school to ease its overcrowding — since the key neighborhood preference was removed it is now the most overcapacity school. [/quote]

You misunderstand the situation. ASFS becoming overcrowded has little to nothing to do with removing neighborhood preference at Key. The school population has grown as a neighborhood school because there are more kids living in this area than there were a decade ago, in multifamily housing. And, the projections are showing that this will continue, especially with the approval of nearby CAFs that have a higher student generation factor than even SFHs, and there isn’t any other nearby school to shuffle those kids to. That’s the problem. It’s not because there are so many Key kids being shut out of immersion at Key. [/quote]
