[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]600 kids are not walking to Reed. Fake News. Look at report. 310 kids are walking to Reed. 415 are riding a bus. That's 7 buses. Not that walkable friends. [/quote]

1/23/2018 report shows 601 students currently enrolled in APS who are exclusively walkable to Reed. Which report are you looking at?[/quote]

You can see the newly as of yesterday walkzone maps the staff used. You will see that yes a lot more buses 2-4 at least for Reed. The map for each school that was used for consideration is below:

For what it’s worth the message from the option schools and neighborhood schools who engaged with staff and SB before the initial data dump yesterday was don’t do anything without enrollment projections, anyone notice it’s still not a consideration!?! Every elementary APS parent should be mentioning this loudly. Why the hell would you determine which parts of the county have less need for neighborhood seats without projections. And no they aren’t going to put an option program at the corners of the county, it doesn’t make any sense and goes in the face of all their previous thinking. Last night they talked about prioritizing this school change designation based on current schools that can retain green space while growing. Hey that does actually make sense and that does really narrow the list. I hope the do seriously consider a neighborhood/option if they move forward. They could even sunset and phase out based on actual enrollment but can’t we all agree it would be very hard to correct moving an option school to a site that actually needs a ton of seats. And given that APS doesn’t seem to think student enrollment projections are needed for this decision it might be good to have a way built in to correct.
