From outward appearances, it seems to me that Tara natrass only cares about option schools insofar as they can help integrate schools in terms of SES. Otherwise I think she is hostile towards them, probably for the simple fact that they tend to bunch motivated, involved parents together, instead of balancing out less involved parents who either can't or won't get very involved in their child's education. I think she'd happily kill most option programs.[/quote]

No, she comes from a school system that has used option schools in precisely that way. It makes sense and is really the justification for them to exist in today's climate. Otherwise, they serve as publicly funded private schools. I am an option school parent btw.  [/quote]

Where does she come from?  And who will take over when she’s on maternity leave?[/quote]

Interesting read :

Director of Elementary Education and Title I for Cabarrus County Public Schools in North Carolina.

She also has experience implementing programs such as STEM, Language Immersion, and the [b] International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program. [/b]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.  The fix is in, folks.  There are few things that can unite APS parents, but I think we are getting there. [b] This isn't about any one school.[/b]  This is about APS wasting an enormous amount of time, money, and effort to appear to have done their due diligence when they decided some time ago exactly what they were going to do.  We are all getting rolled.  Some will be lucky enough to get their desired outcome, but that's only dumb luck.  Why was the timeline so ridiculously short?  It was to try to stay under the radar with very little parent objection.

We deserve better than this.

Much better. Why in earth would they change the ATS model instead of just getting rid of it?  And on what planet is moving it to the NW a good idea?[/quote]
