[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they changed Key to a full lottery school more because of the demand for Claremont, which always had a waiting list. I think the Claremont zone felt Key’s boundaries allowed those in the Key zone more realistic access to immersion, and I guess the lottery system coupled with a change in the boundaries was perceived as more equitable than the old system.

Im a Key parent and I hadn’t even heard about this proposed building swap.  Is this really being considered, or is it one of a million proposals that will amount to very little?[/quote]

The school board has Obliquely discussed ASFS boundaries, and the ASFS PTA has felt it worthwhile to protest the swap. Really they should both be neighborhood schools, and immersion head west where there are seats. I know the whole Claremont - West and Key East divide, but this a county 5 miles across, they can figure it out since most students will bus anyways now that it is lottery only m

And you know once Key is lottery only, if they don’t get huge demand, then it will pull folks off the Claremont wait list which is huge — I think this was the real reason for the change. Hence location doesn’t really matter. [/quote]
