[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t the kids in Rosslyn go to Longbranch? That’s a straight shot up 50 and closer? [/quote]

Kids in Rosslyn will go to ASFS or neighborhood Key.  Does something bother you about this?[/quote]

Hi, neighborhood Key doesn't exist. Try again.[/quote]

It will in 2020 or 2021.  Sorry that bothers you.[/quote]

If I had to guess, I’d push that date out to 2026, which is also a more realistic Reed opening date.[/quote]

It's great to say stuff like this on an anonymous forum but no one has said anything about Reed opening in 2026.  No one has said anything other than it continuing to open in 2021.  [/quote]  Sent too soon.  In fact the school talk release just included a paragraph that says:

[i]The Superintendent added that APS may need to revisit the option of adjusting some elementary neighborhood and option school locations in the future when APS begins the community process to adjust boundaries and create a new attendance zone for the new elementary school at [b]Reed that will open in September 2021[/b][/i].[/quote]

DP. In CIP work session #2, where they talked about the possibility of postponing Reed (and other projects) in favor of more amenities for the fourth high school, it was discussed generally that those postponed projects likely wouldn't be able to come online until 2026 or later. I assume this is where pp got that date.

As to Reed opening in 2021, while I think it's unlikely they will decide to postpone Reed, that Murphy referenced a 2021 opening in his presentation doesn't make it gospel. Murphy doesn't get to make that decision, that lies with the school board, and right now, even if they are seriously looking at postponing Reed, they are not going to forecast it any more than necessary and get people all freaked out in case it doesn't turn into a viable proposal. But don't assume they're not considering something just because they don't specifically tell you they're considering it, didn't we just learn this in spades in the elementary planning initiative?[/quote]
