[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are good arguments for moving an option program to NW and good arguments for which school it should be, but you're barking up the wrong tree if you point to Reed.[/quote]

You mean the school who pulled a whopping 50 Kindergarteners this year?[/quote]

You’re Not implying that a different school would make more sense, are you?[/quote]

I think a number would make sense. But I don’t see which school you more to NW. If you move ATS, it runs the risk of becoming less diverse. If you move immersion, you risk have few native speakers. Capacity-wise, it has appeal. [/quote]

You can't move immersion to NW because it would kill Spanish-speaking enrollment, and the staff has already said this. The only school you could move to NW would be ATS, and yes, then you would see declining minority/FARMS enrollment. Every possible solution involves trade-offs so this isn't a deal-killer on its face, but there should at least be a community discussion of our values and if we're okay effectively removing ATS as an option for many low-income families by putting it in a less-accessible location.[/quote]
