[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I'm in favor of making Claremont a neighborhood school. Now you'll ask me, "Where does the immersion program go?" The answer to that is, "I don't know." I rather agree with above posters who are critical of the need for option schools @ the ES level.

+1. Claremont is right where we need seats. [/quote]

Drew has seats available and can easily resolve the capacity issue at Abingdon.  Nevertheless, don't be surprised if that happens in the near future.  I expect Claremont immersion to be relocated; but that doesn't help fill Drew and there will still be empty seats in that part of the county.[/quote]

This. Now that Abingdon parents know there’s a chance they’ll be zoned Drew, they suddenly **need** immersion to move for neighborhood seats. Seats exist, in an adjacent zone, AT DREW, and it’s irresponsible not to use existing capacity before taking the expense of building new seats and/or relocating an option program. Frankly, Montessori should never have moved. Drew is too big a school for just its own neighborhood. It was built to be a Montessori school. And thanks to that decision, now we had to pay to relocate Montessori once already, renovate Henry for them, and now again if they go forward with tearing down Henry and moving Montessori to a new school, will pay for it AGAIN. What a waste of time and resources, which was absolutely foreseeable.[/quote]
