We make due with an old commador 64 and a fax machine.
So you would say no to a $1,000 donation from a family

ASFS parent here. It seems like people are trying to make us out to be petty, uptight, and scheming, but jeez, if you are the people trying to get in (and why, exactly, if we're so horrible?)) now I really want to make sure you people stay in your home schools. Cross indexing the Edbacker site? Just what the heck do you think goes on here? It's a school.

No. Looking at the edbacker site or the plaque will not give you proof of what PP said, that "historically the biggest donors came from
Jamestown planning units." The fundraising for the lab did not begin until late 2014, and continued til 2016, i believe. Considering the lab was remodeled for the school's 20th anniversary and the school is now wrapping up its 22nd year, whatever fundraising took place for the lab is hardly proof that historically the big donors came from Jamestown planning units.
Thems some finely split hairs ya got there!
Hey, I'm a lawyer. I make a living paying attention to the meaning of each word!?

1 – APS has always considered ASFS a neighborhood school.
2 – APS is going to change Key, currently a neighborhood school, to an Option school.
3 – APS is going to dissolve the Team and allow only the ASFS/Key zone to attend ASFS.
4 – The proposed policy changes will affect all 23 elementary schools, not just ASFS and the Team.
5 – APS is no longer going to guarantee neighborhood access to a nearby Option school.
6 – Enrollment at ASFS will likely increase in 2018, but only by a class or two.
7 – APS is planning to make boundary changes for elementary schools in 2019.
8 – ASFS is has the seventh lowest percentage of FARMS students, out of 23 elementary schools.
9 – ASFS has the best elementary science lab which was funded, in part, by $177K in private donations.
Anything else?
10 - ASFS's successs draws critics.
Wait. So I don't have to worry that we have to send our kids to asfs? We are about a mile away from asFS and taylor and hope to remain zoned for taylor. A lot of people on this thread seem crazy.
No need to worry in 2017 or 2018, unless something changes. The real unknown is #7 (boundary changes in 2019).
Also, if you are in Taylor by 2019, you may be grandfathered, if your neighborhood school is changed to ASF.
Thanks, I will remain cautiously optimistic although after all that I have seen I have concluded that the show members all pretty much suck. Trump not Reid seems to ask the right questions while NVD is the worst. I wish she and Murphy would leave.
Damn autocorrect. School board not show members.

That's amazing that you can read minds.

If you are <1 mile there is a strong chance. <1/2 mile a very strong chance. I'd guess 1+ miles less likely. I'm sure your current kids (and maybe younger siblings) will be grandfathered and allowed to stay at Taylor.
