[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest surprise to me is that Jamestown and Tuckahoe were off the table.  Filling schools with walkers is one of the top priorities right now and neither of those schools can do that.  Jamestown has an astonishingly low walk percentage.

To the poster saying kids N of Lee will be going to McKinley, that will not happen.  Tuckahoe is going to have a lot of capacity and I guess they won't mind adding trailers for their moral cohesion.[/quote]

The staff analysis seems off. I think Nottingham is a much more walkable school than Tuckahoe. And in the chart where they list which schools have others within 1 mile and how many, Reed is not listed as a school. Why not? Isn't that the whole issue with the N/W quadrant once that school is built? Also, it seems they did not take any feedback from the community or members of FAC and ACI about all locations not being suitable for all programs. How would they do two-way Spanish Immersion at Nottingham? With what Spanish-speaking kids? And how would moving Campbell away from the Nature Center and the outdoor spaces they've built have no impact on the program? [/quote]
