[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both schools should be neighborhood. Swapping them does NOTHING to address influx of 300+ students from immersion lottery change.  [/quote]

It's yet to be proven that there will be any such influx. Remember, Key is a lottery for only half the county. To date, anyone outside of the Key neighborhood boundary who's wanted a spot in immersion has been able to attend, even thise on the Claremont waitlist. So, I don't know that there's suddenly going to be demand from outside the Key zone that would displace Key neighborhood kids immediately. And it isn't likely to be 300 kids. [/quote]

If there wasn’t such a clamoring demand for Key access, why did they change the lottery?? What was the urgency, why not wait until they had a proper plan in place and incorporate the Reed school eat al?

Anyways with all the other shuffling of zones, demand will likely increase esp from S Arlington. [/quote]

Because it was  a huge problem at Claremont with  giant waiting lists every year  (and at Campbell as well) and the board or staff felt that they  couldn't continue to have neighborhood preference  in some places and not in others.
