[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I seriously don't understand the hysteria surrounding moving Key and the claim that it would 'kill' the program b/c it needs to be near spanish speakers. Even accepting that as true- there are numerous sites in APS that have a larger concentration of Spanish speakers than the Key zone. Barrett is 50.9% hispanic as compared to Key's 50.4%. So that is effectively the same. HOWEVER- Key has 159 students transfer in who are Hispanic. Barrett is sending 37 students to Key. You gotta think that is at least a portion of the 159 transfers into Key who are hispanic. And what site is literally down the street from Barrett, why that's ATS. And those are both North Arlington 'Eastern" sites- I'm not even getting into the numerous sites in South Arlington that have a higher concentration of hispanic students.[/quote] Also without neighborhood preference, would they get priority as Spanish speakers?[/quote]
