[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a Key parent, but I thought APS needs seats at Key because of all the new affordable housing the county just approved. So if most of Key doesn’t follow to ATS, doesn’t that still leave APS without enough seat in that area? The only way to remove that uncertainty is to leave every school where it is and draw boundaries. Broaden the walk zone to the full mile allowed under APS policy instead of 1/2 mile used today if you want to reduce bus costs. [/quote] Nobody at APS has said moving Key will solve the capacity problem. What it does is helps get them through because they will not be able to build another school there in the foreseeable future. What it also does, according to APS, is brings immersion closer to more Spanish-speaking families. Even if "most" of Key doesn't move with the program, it still opens a guaranteed minimum # of seats by moving all the immersion students who do not reside in the NE (esp Key/ASFS) boundaries.[/quote]
