[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a McK family outside of Reed walk zone but we are not filling out the "no move" petition. It stinks to lose our walkable neighborhood school but we don't see other good options to rebalance and gain enough seats.

But, [b]McK is such a new school, it concerns us to hear ATS folks requesting renovations to retrofit the school..[/b]. huh? Besides freshening up with a coat of paint, APS should just shut down any attempts to waste our taxpayer dollars needlessly. It's a larger school (playground is small, tough luck) so just deal with it!

Agreed.  What does ATS need structurally customized to its program?  Does it even need a fresh coat of paint?  Give 'em a new sign and call it a day.[/quote]

Is this request in writing somewhere/what specific “requests” are they making?[/quote]

I'm at ATS and haven't heard anything about this.  The only facility questions have been about whether there is a space for all-school assembly (e.g. the gym) and a place for the upper grades to play instruments.  I can't think of anything else.[/quote]

Yes and Yes.  The McK school holds all-school assemblies in the gym and it has a bigger population than ATS.  There is also an instrumental music room separate from the music rooms and plenty of space on the stage.[/quote]

Not an ATS parent, but I took the tour last year. We learned about how the hallway walls are gray to soothe the students and how the tiles were specially chosen. Maybe that's what they're asking for?[/quote]
