[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since they think you need to be near a large population of Spanish speakers for immersion, I also don't think you will be able to get a reversal on Henry being an option ekementary school.
So how about:
1.  Henry-- Montessor or Ats
2.  Jamestown:  Montessori or Ats 
3.  Ats: immersion
4.  Carlie springs: immersion
5.  Campbell or Claremont: el
The boundaries look largely the same-- is this lessening overcrowding?k[/quote]
I really like this!  Could we start rallying around this?[/quote]

I’m in![/quote]
 
I like it.  I know there will be pushback against putting ATS at Jamestown, but we can't justify keeping a neighborhood undercapacity just because the building is "tucked away".[/quote]

Again, they aren't moving ATS. And Montessori needs a new home once the demolish Henry. [/quote]

SB isn’t going to worry about moving Montessori from Henry in this process, they’re banking on being able to figure out something to create more elementary seats before that.[/quote]

If it's moving in 5 years, it needs to be part of this process. They new drop identity the site, publicly. If they're going to put it at W-L, they had better get the community to buy-in. [/quote]

That's what they should do, but that's not what's happening. Listen to all of the CIP meetings, not just the parts about the elementary schools. They know this is going to be an issue, they're pretty much just banking on being able to somehow get high school seats back out of the Ed Center in time to move Montessori there so they can tear down Henry for the Career Center site. It's a total shell game.[/quote]
