[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the most problematic aspects of accomplishing the swap via administrative declaration is the complete lack of confidence many Arlington residents have in the fairness and propriety of the action.  There is virtually no precedent for something like this in APS, and you couple that with the fact that the primary beneficiary of the swap is a segment of one of the wealthiest neighborhoids in APS, and why shouldn’t we assume something untoward is happening? Just fold it back into the boundary process like every other school assignment decision in the county.  Is it so hard to at least pretend to apply the same set of rules to everyone?[/quote]

I’m one of the pro swap posters above and I completely agree with you. It needs to be considered as part of a public process. They claim it will be when they have to decide whether to do it in 2020 or 2021 but that is after the decision to actually do it has been finalized.

I’m also curious what other scenarios may come out of a public process. Move it ATS. Keep both buildings as neighborhood schools. Move ATS or do away with it entirely. I was pleasantly surprised to see things like that on the table last spring. And, yes, my school was one on the list to become the new home to an existing options program. [/quote]
