[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anyone saw the SB meeting on Thursday they won't have a need to provide shuttle buses for the low-income families.  According to the Key parents, they are all planning on staying at the Key building aka their neighborhood school! [/quote]

Pretty much every argument made by the Key parents could be used to justify moving immersion to Carlin Springs and having both Key and ASFS neighborhood. Not sure if they’ve realized that yet.[/quote]

Yes- this is the ultimate problem with their arguments.  They are insisting that they want to go to the school closest to them, and oh by the way they want it to be immersion.  They can go to the school closest to them- whatever it's called.   Their neighbors without kids in school aren't guaranteed to get to do so unless it is a neighborhood school.  Those neighbors have just as much 'need' for a close school as the students currently enrolled.  [/quote]

People seem to forget it was their neighborhood school when they started.  Key served the neighborhood and you had a choice[/b].[/quote]

Yeah, basically that area (i.e, the Key/ASFS attendance zone) has had two "neighborhoods" schools to choose from for the last 20 years-- why?  Because they need two schools in that area.  By doing the swap and making Key lottery only, APS has really screwed the pooch.  That area continues to grow, but yet they took away one of the schools that served the neighborhood! [/quote]

Once the dust settles with SA schools, they can look at this and realize the swap is fruitless, and to keep ASFS at its location and undo the transfer policy to give them flexibility to match demand.[/quote]
