[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the thread: There is no place to put another school along the Orange Line. (I wish there were.) I think taking over Key for a plain vanilla school would be a mistake; the lower-income native Spanish speakers should not have to travel further to attend Key. Like the proposals to change Hoffman-Boston, it's pretty arrogant to decide that you're going to take a disadvantaged group's school away because you've decided something else should go there instead.

What has happened to the Wilson School site that makes it no longer available?[/quote]

good question.  at the boundary meeting tonight, people asked for clarification as to why choice schools were off the table (so, for example, is it really impracticable so not worth considering?), but the speaker was unable to speak to even that question, much less any specifics re: the choice schools.  for example, why ATS gets 220 extra seats when the boundary schools are so overcrowded.  or why ASFS is still considered a "choice" school when it actually functions now as a boundary school given that scant few have or will get in via lottery in the future.
