[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Soooo... western Pike isn't moving to Wakefield and Arlington Forest is?[/quote]

That's one of 3 options.  Nothing is decided yet.  In no option does the Western Pike move to Wakefield.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure the Arlington Forest PUs were only included to make it seem like APS was trying to be fair. They can't chose all the PUs from south of 50. That might raise some eyebrows.  Arlington Forest isn't actually going to move. Please.[/quote]

I agree. It would be politically very hard for them to go with this option (B) based on the reaction I saw tonight. [b]One of the criticisms the AF parents repeatedly said is that there was no explanation provided for why these scenarios were chosen out of the hundreds of options.[/b] But I think it's pretty obvious to everyone that they had to have at least one option including PLs north of Route 50. Just to say that they did. [/quote]

Well, I'm not in charge of this thing, but I think they were selected because it MAKES SENSE from many different perspectives. It would reunite their neighborhood (half is already at Wakefield), their kids go to KMS for middle (stability, alignment, and contiguity, check), they are NOT that far from Wakefield, and are closer than almost all the other PU's in the current scenarios (proximity, check), except for the ones that should never have been included for consideration due to, you guessed it, demographics (CHECK). APS is not so stupid to cleave off the poorest PU's from W-L, against their vocal protestations, just because they are geographically closer and to avoid having to make one half of one neighborhood angry. I mean, look at the bright side Arlington Forest folks. You can turn your attention back to the pressing matter of blocking the rebuild of your community center.

Wakefielders, I'm not really sure that you want these tools at your school anyway. They have shown their asses. [/quote]
