[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wrote this thread in order to start a conversation about how we could, as a collective, hold APS leadership and school board accountable. Instead its devolved into SA residents being told they should have saved money to buy into NA. Why? Personally, I bought a home in SA and am very happy with my decision and specifically WANT to send my child to a school that's not 90% white. But again, that's not the point. The point is that all this bickering is a direct result of the mess APS created. Is it too much to ask for answers and accountability? [/quote]

That post was tongue-in-cheek after I pointed out that crap happens in NA too. I was told I should have planned better when buying a house.  So could everyone else if that's the standard.  Housing policies belong to the county board, and there's just no way to slice up the tiniest county in the nation if the poor areas are concentrated in pockets. That is the answer you're going to get from the school board if they're honest. If the school board was also honest they'd do away with the boutique schools - those aren't necessary. Immersion isn't necessary. ATS as a choice program isn't necessary. They're nice-to-haves when you're flush with real estate and the school populations are tiny. You want that kind of customization, send your kid to a private school. [/quote]

Thank you for this reply!!! It is much appreciated. [/quote]
