[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ASFS changes will wait until Reed. [/quote]

Except that APS got rid of the team model last year and ASFS can’t handle all the kids in the Key boundary. Even if they keep most of the boundary intact, APS will have to trim somewhere. Plus, how does ASFS backtrack from all its talk about reducing busing and every school having a walk zone? What are they going to say, sorry ASFS, in our strive to make everything equitable everyone gets a walk zone except you?

Sorry but this isnt true.  For the next five years, there shouldn’t be more than an additional classroom per grade at asfs due to losing neighborhood preference at key.  That is easily cancelled out by the number of transfers from Taylor, so it would be a wash once the current transfers age out.  
They were predicting a huge increase in the population around key, I don’t know if they got better numbers to change that and maybe that’s what killed the urgency.

That is 5 extra classrooms they don’t have. Like I said earlier, they will add trailers to the play area and call it a day. Which is nuts.

Ok so ms b will somehow figure out who I am and kill me in my sleep for saying this but:
1.  You can easily convert the science lab into two classrooms.  I don’t know where that flight simulator is, but maybe we should think about giving it to Arlington tech and converting that to a classroom.
2.  They got rid of vpi so that’s a classroom for next year
3.  You could put a trailer on the parking lot.  I’d be supportive of that if it meant not touching the field space.  I think that would likely deter people from transferring in too because it would make the school really freaking ugly.
That gets you pretty close to the right number.
