[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll assume arguendo that Key is going to move to ATS.  How will this work in 2021-22 in terms of new boundary?  Will Key have a new boundary and name when it reopens as a neighborhood school in 2021?[/quote]

Boundaries will be defined this fall. Use current ASFS boundary as a starting point.

It needs a name, program/curriculum, principal, etc. Takes time to start a new school. [/quote]
Is the idea of actually including all of the Key walk zone in its boundary completely off the table?  As a tax payer, I'm really disturbed by all of the maps I see where they are busing hundreds of kids from LV/Clarendon/Courthouse who could walk to Key, in order to make space to bus kids from Rosslyn to Key.  My kids will have aged out of this by the time this takes place, but what a waste of money!  Can they at least do the upper and lower schools  between Key and ASFS so you're only busing half of them?  Especially the posters on here that are convinced that houses a block from Key won't be zoned there!  Key's zone isn't going to go past Bryan Street -- you realize that that means busing kids that are within a third of a mile of the school?  Give me a break!  What a waste of money![/quote]
It's basic math, folks.  There are not enough seats at Key neighborhood elementary for all of Rosslyn AND Clarendon/Courthouse.  Something has to to give.  Let me guess, you want Rosslyn to take their long bus ride to Taylor so you can keep Clarendon and Courthouse at Key neighborhood.  [/quote]

Outside of the walk zone could be on the chopping block.

Some of the current ASFS zone will be zoned to Long Branch, ASFS, or Taylor even with the school moves. Some planning units will end up with a sub-optimal situation. However WAY more will be better off than with no moves, which is the fight we are having today. Who goes where is a fight for later. [/quote]
