[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The asfs principal is perfectly fine with the majority of her school population being sent to different communities.  Just saying.[/quote]

The ASFS principal has been there since day 1 of the school’s existence 20+ years ago.  She has been at the school when kids from all over Arlington could attend it, to just students in the team boundaries to it being almost exclusively a school for the Key neighborhood. She’s able to understand the long run and what’s best for APS. I’m not claiming that changing ASFS boundaries is a good or bad thing but I am saying she has a much wider perspective of how ASFS has functioned than the current community who may not want to move.[/quote]

This is not correct.  ASFS could never be attended by kids from all over Arlington.
It was an option school only for 4 elementary schools, including Taylor, Jamestown.
They were called the TEAM schools.
It was never available as a choice for Barcroft, Carlin Springs, Abington, Oakridge, Ashlawn, ... etc. [/quote]

I never understand why people talks about things they don’t know with such certainty. ASFS was absolutely available to students outside the team for its first 10 or so years of its existence.  Attendance priority first went to those in Key boundary, followed by the team boundaries and if there still was space it was open to the rest of Arlington, but no transportation was provided. I am the PP who was at the school for 16 years and my kids had friends at ASFS from Glebe, Nottingham and Oakridge boundaries. [/quote]
