[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ATS is not being eliminated.  I want to shout that from the rooftops to stop all the ridiculous chatter and petition work.  It's not in the IPP b/c "traditional" is not a recognized instructional model, like IB or Montessori.  That doesn't mean it's going away, it just had no place in the chart.  Also, APS is moving it to a larger building to grow.

Snarky side note:  I feel concerned that ATS might not be teaching reading and listening comprehension since the parents can't understand what, "We are closing ATS," means.  [/quote]

A comprehensive plan about instructional pathways for the entire school district that is completely mum about one of its most popular option schools is highly suspect. It was willfully left out. It’s not a leap to conclude that, and to press the powers-that-be for clarification.

That said, as an ATS parent I am happy with reports that the IPP will be amended to include ATS. McKinley is still a central location and will allow for in-demand growth. Never even saw the petition mentioned. Petitions by angry/worried parents are not worth the cloud-space they’re written on. [/quote]
