[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is this notion coming from that neighborhood Key would be a Title I?  ASFS isn’t current Title I, right?  Was Key Title I when it had neighborhood preference?[/quote]

You can crunch the numbers...but it depends on if APS decides to concentrate FARMs at one school and what % of MC/UMC option out (or go Catholic).[/quote]

I have looked at the numbers, and I’m not seeing a realistic scenario where neighborhood Key is Title I.  This feels like a scare tactic from the Keep Key on Key and Save McKinley folks to avoid having any schools move.[/quote]

Okay...so if Neighborhood Key isn't Title I...it will be pretty close and without the extra resources (past the tipping point)  You do you.[/quote]
They will receive Title I funding, class sizes will be limited to Title I limits, and the community and PTA will still be there to provide the supportive services families currently receive.  The current Key PTA, with its 39% FRL population, has a healthy budget - far healthier than our 60%+ schools.  The wealth in the area surpasses the wealth in the 60+ FRL schools.[/quote]

What you don't seem to understand is that the New Key will be the ASFS and Key leftovers (who don't have a way out).  These families will be fine - but the involved parents and the ones who make the big donations will be outta there (kind of like all of the UMC/MC parents who option out of SA schools).[/quote]

Option out how?  ATS?   Immersion?  [/quote]
