Im a Key parent and I hadn’t even heard about this proposed building swap.  Is this really being considered, or is it one of a million proposals that will amount to very little?[/quote]

They have to do something, because with the change in transfer policy they have created a zone with 850 kids and no neighborhood elementary school in the boundary. One option is to redraw boundaries around ASFS and the other option is to make Key a neighborhood school by moving immersion elsewhere. Either way people get very angry. [/quote]

No way would I be “angry” if Key became a neighborhood school.  Spanish immersion is played out.  It’s like time traveling to 2009.[/quote]

Funny, the 2,000+ Immersion families feel differently. But good luck swaying the SB to your way of thinking[/quote]

Most of Claremont immersion is people escaping underperforming schools not a drive for immersion. Many kids are in Key b/c it is their neighborhood school and just easier for the parents. And it’s popular for parents that speak Spanish since it caters to them; we have a large Mongolian population too, should we build a program that just caters to them?  We don’t have the space or luxury for immersion where it is now,[b] unclear if there is space anywhere for that full population[/b] [/quote]

"Hey guys - our schools are way too crowded. All of you Spanish speakers are gonna have to move to Fairfax..."[/quote]

Or they could attend a neighborhood school with the rest of the neighborhood.[/quote]
