[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you people talking about?  A few years ago APS moved [b]three[/b][i] schools for crying out loud (Key to ATS, ATS to McKinley, McKinley to Cardinal).  Planners faced down angry parents and gave the supine School Board one choice: these school moves or the apocalypse.  It was unnecessary and expensive.  They dug in their heels and no argument would dissuade them.  
Anyone who thinks that APS is overly captive to advocates is nuts. [/quote]

How do you think things would be going now with no neighborhood school in the Courthouse area and two mega-size neighborhood schools on top of each other in N Arlington and very close to other under enrolled schools?

That move is literally the one example of the School Board doing anything that made sense and they've apparently been too exhausted since then to bother to do anything else.

DP. I thought the neighborhood schools were Innovation and/or Science Focus and/or Taylor for that part of Arlington. So those who did not want immersion could choose the other neighborhood schools.

Hasn’t been that way since 2018. There used to be a team of elementary schools that worked like that, with guaranteed admission to Key based on neighborhood boundaries, and if you didn’t want immersion you could go to ASFS. [/quote]
