[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS still not ready to admit that the swap was a bad idea . . . .

https://www.apsva.us/asf-key-school-building-swap/

"Planning for the building swap with ASFS and Key administrators and community members, which was to begin in January 2019, has been paused . . . .[and t]he location for elementary immersion will be reevaluated."

The rationale for the "pause" is that the projections have increased and "[g]iven this projections update and the strong commitment APS has to the dual-language immersion program, the location for elementary immersion will be reevaluated to best meet the needs of our students."

In other words, we never really cared about the needs of the students or had a strong committment to the dual-language immersion program but only a handful of loudmouth ASFS parents who wanted "their" precious school in "their" neighborhood.  Now that everyone has called us on our cr*p, we have to go back and finish the process we started a YEAR ago and do it the right way.

Will APS never learn???? If they had just kept with the location review that they started last spring, this would all be over by now.  Everyone would have some clarity and we could have skipped all these ASFS threads.[/quote]

APS should own up to its mistake and just take down the swap link.  It's misleading to anyone who is new to public schools and living in that area and trying to figure it out.  By saying it's taking a "pause" APS makes it sounds like the swap will go through once there is an un-pause.  Or change it over to say "Immersion Location Review" instead.  They can keep the background if they want but make it clear that by reevaluating, they are actually evaluating and looking at all the schools immersion could go to.
