[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We'll see when the proposals come out, but I would bet money on key not moving.  People need to realize that not moving key has effects on the rest of the county, especially with the asfs boundary staying fixed going forward.  Looking at the other thread, it seems like the thought is to empty long branch to fleet, and move most of south of wilson to long branch.  What do you south arlingtons think of that?  Does that do anything to help with boundaries and disrupt poverty pockets?[/quote]

Where did you hear that one? The PUs zoned to Henry are the ones that are mostly supposed to go to Fleet. I say mostly because some of them will certainly be zoned to Drew, because they were closer to Drew in the first place. I agree with others that it would be odd to send the PUs from Long Branch to Fleet, so free up more seats in Clarendon/Rosslyn, when Henry is bursting at the seams. Fleet will open at capacity.

Plus, I think Henry PTA would probably lay siege to Fleet if it were zoned as a school for people north of 50... I don't know what T-shirt color they've chosen though.[/quote]

It was the consensus in the other boundary thread.  People kept saying "long branch will make space there's no space in taylor".  If you sum up the units in the current key, taylor, and long branch zones, you exceed the building capacities.  You can likely assume that a certain percentage will keep on going to key because its close by, but since they only have one year of data, that seems like a risk.  
APS really f'ed this up.  I'll be curious to see what the proposals look like this fall.  [/quote]

Long Branch can't just make space, based on maximum utilization, unless they move more PUs out of the boundary than just the ones S of 50. Since Barrett is not involved in the first round of school boundary changes, the only possible move is for them to take Long Branch kids N of 50 and send them to Fleet. If their object is to avoid public outcry, they done messed up. [/quote]

They'll take the long branch kids who are SOUTH of 50, not north of 50.[/quote]

That was planned before the possibility of ASFS kids moving in was raised, just to address the LB overcrowding as it exists. They will have to take additional PUs, which means some N of 50, to make enough space for additional kids being moved in from the ASFS area. [/quote]
