[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Immersion should go to Carlin Springs. ATS should either be eliminated or go to Nottingham. Ashlawn's boundary should come over and take some of the current Carlin Springs PUs, maybe even some of Barcroft's CAFs. ATS as a neighborhood school can help balance Barrett and relieve McKinley.[/quote]

Agree with at least some of this. N Arlington just doesn’t have the Spanish speaking students necessary to fill half of an immersion school. ATS will likely be eliminated in favor of an IB program, and the ATS site is not good for a neighborhood school as far as walking goes, so maybe IB will just go there. The IB kids can just tuck their shirts in until ATS is grandfathered out of the building. [/quote]

N Arlington doesn't need the Spanish speakers to fill the program if the program is located more centrally - like at current ATS location.  [/quote]

What? It needs roughly half Spanish speakers. Those families probably aren’t going to choose a school that isn’t close, whether it’s key or ATS.[/quote]

Why not?[/quote]

Too far to walk? They like a school with lots of neighborhood kids? [/quote]
