The ASFS PTA meeting minutes from last year are an interesting read (just the External Affairs reports, you can skip the rest). I hadn't realized until I just read them how heavily the PTA advocated to prevent a Key/ASFS swap, reduce the size of the school and create as large a walk zone as possible, all of which would result in Rosslyn being zoned out of the school. I get where they're coming from, but I can also totally understand why the Rosslyn folks were up in arms and voted out the External Affairs person in favor of one of their own.

PP again. It reminds me a bit of what Tuckahoe did, when their board went to battle to get Tuckahoe off the list of potential option sites because all of their board members were in the walk zone and they weren't concerned with how that decision would affect their community members on the other side of Lee Highway who might not get to go to Reed like they'd prefer as a result.

-----------------
That's a weird statement. Do people south of Lee Highway need Tuckahoe to be turned into an option school in order be zoned to Reed?  That's not my understanding.  I'm a Tuckahoe parent and I never heard anyone at Tuckahoe object to Tuckahoe's position that they shouldn't turn it into an option  school. There was no revolt in the PTA; not even a dissenting voice from what I heard.  Just like no one at Nottingham wanted it turned option. Who would?[/quote]

They need someone north of Lee Highway to become an option site if they want to go to Reed, otherwise they'll be bused back north to fill those schools instead of going to Reed with the rest of Westover. When Tuckahoe fought not only to not be considered but to have the entire process called off, they increased the odds of that happening.[/quote]
