[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s official! They are moving the science lab. Praise Jesus.[/quote]

I just read that on arl news now.  [/quote]

If ASFS were still a semi-option program, they could probably justify hoarding a $200k facility perk that was privately funded, with the rationale that everyone in the county could theoretically seek admission to that school.  As a strictly neighborhood school, a $200k perk not made available to other elementary schools starts to feel very unequal.  I wonder if the board has fully considered the legal implications of this.[/quote]

You are welcome to fund a special lab for your school. Find corporate sponsors, etc.

Or just whine about it when other people took the effort to do it at their school.

I’m pro swap and don’t care about the lab, but this is a pretty weak argument considering most of the funding for that lab came from families who are no longer even at the school.[/quote]

Not true but I'm guessing you didn't contribute if you are unaware that many contributors are still at the school.  I contributed and I live closer to Key than ASFS and I do not support the swap.  I can see through this plan and I fully realize we are all going to end up with crappier programs as a result of these moves.  [b]It took years to build what we have at ASFS (and would imagine the same holds for Key) and that is not going to be recreated any time during my children's time. [/b] I've had older ones go through ASFS and we value the program enough to know it needs to stay put in order to preserve what we have and not spend years trying to rebuild.  However, you do raise interesting point about many of these people that aps is so concerned about appeasing.  Many will be gone by the time any of this actually happens.  [/quote]

How does the building have anything to do with this?  What makes a school is the teachers, leadership, curriculum, student population.  Those are staying the same for both schools.  The alternative is to keep ASFS where it is and draw new boundaries so you have a completely different student population.  That seems  lot more disruptive. [/quote]
