[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People.  They're just not doing the boundary adjustment next near  They're not saying they'll never need to do it.  They're making the decision based on the information they have right now.  Which why disrupt kids and families when the schools aren't full????

Are you saying none of the schools are over capacity?  That’s not true.[/quote]

It is true. [/quote]

I think some of the option schools are still over the permanent building capacity. That's their own fault, though. They could just go to their neighborhood school instead if it was a dealbreaker. [/quote]

Key and Claremont are being shrunk (going from 6 K classes to 4 starting this year). Key was also moved to a smaller building this year. [/quote]

It seems like there is a demand for immersion at the elementary level (at least for native English speakers). Do they not have enough native Spanish speakers for the program?  Are they shrinking it bc of attrition in MS / HS?[/quote]

They are shrinking all the option programs that over capacity.  When neighborhood school enrollment went up and those schools got too crowded, APS forced the option schools to add kindergarten spots to up their enrollment as well.  It was the right call, but now they are allowing the option schools to go back down.  Claremont is way over capacity, and the reduced number of kindergarten spots will help that.  If there is demand for a 3rd Immersion program, they should offer that, not up over-enroll the 2 current schools.  I think they should offer Immersion at all the under enrolled schools to see what happens.  Ex: offer a Spanish speaking classroom at Drew or Discovery and see what happens.  [/quote]
