[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nottingham is irrelevant right now because nothing is going to even be discussed over there for another two years, so even if they will move ATS there it's not going to be debated now. Anyone talking about Nottingham in this process is trolling.[/quote]

It would only be relevant if they move Key now. [/quote]

That still doesn't make Nottingham relevant. If you feel otherwise, lay out the steps for how Key brings Nottingham into the mix in this process despite the staff saying Nottingham-area boundaries are not up for consideration in this phase. If you just float out some general, "Oh, it could happen," I'm going to ignore you.[/quote]

The obvious one is: key moves to ATS, ATS to Nottingham. It’s driven by need for the seats now in the east.[/quote]

Wow, you have no understanding of what's happening. Since they're doing a full rezoning for ASFS this fall to be implemented is 2019 and have committed to not moving any planning unit more than once in this process, they need to find final homes for all of the Key-area planning units for 2019. If they're going to do that by moving Key, they need to move Key to a location that's available in fall of 2019. If they move it to ATS, then they need to find a site for ATS that is also available in 2019. They have already explicitly said in this announcement that Nottingham will not be an available site for 2019, so your plan cannot happen.[/quote]

They talk about boundary changes. Key is not mentioned either. So they move Key, they move ATS, then Nottingham students disperse and Reed mops up the excess a year later. [/quote]

Go back and reread the announcement. It refers to the boundary processes for attendance zones. It's very carefully worded to not say they'll be doing the boundaries for schools, but rather will be [b]potentially relocating students from those attendance zones. [/b]Under your scenario, the units in the current Nottingham attendance zone would literally have no school to attend for two years.[/quote]

Is that to get around the “no planning unit will be moved twice in 5 years” rule?[/quote]

No. From the announcement: "A school may be involved in both boundary processes, but a specific planning unit will only be impacted once to minimize the number of times that individual students who have continued to reside in a particular attendance area are impacted by the boundary change."[/quote]

than what is the point of the bolded text?[/quote]

It means they’re not committing to all of the current neighborhood schools staying neighborhood schools - that’s why they refer to the current attendance zones for those schools rather than the schools themselves.[/quote]

I think you are seeing something that is not there.  I don't read into this in the same manner as you suggest.  It has been clearly stated that no option schools are changing/moving in 2019.  [/quote]
