It does when immersion lands at Carlin Springs.

how so?

Creates 2 neighborhood schools in the east where there is a seat shortage and breaks up the embarrassingly high poverty school at CS. Kids from CS can be pushed up to Ashlawn because of new seats at Reed and Ashlawn zone sending some to new Science Focus. Basically it does what they said they needed to do when they started the location conversation a year ago.

Yep. I’m shocked Ashlawn families haven’t gotten involved. If you are going To Ashlawn ( even after Moving boundaries ) your school is going to look different In a Couple years..
I’d be pulling up the farm rates on the pu’s likely to be scooped up...

Seriously, in the history of boundary discussions, have you ever seen the mythical unicorn now being referred to as a swap? I don’t have skin in the game, but pretending this is normal and something one just does, is ridiculous.

THIS! A dishonest a school system and elected officials is bad news for everyone. PTAs should stop and take note and spend cautiously on their current schools because at any given moment the Superintendent can just whisk them away (and don't kid yourself if you really think they are moving, recreating any of either of these schools - APS does not have the money to do so).

ALL HAIL EMPEROR MURPHY!!!

What are you talking about? This all came about b/c Cherrydale wanted ASFS as a neighborhood school.

SB made it a neighborhood school but outside it’s own boundaries, and their decision to rectify boudnaries with school was to place it within its boundaries.

Not much different then when the high schools were built new, everyone moved into new building. Hence a swap.

Perhaps you are saying LV have been campaigning to take the Key building? Maybe. But I have been involved in the school for almost a decade and never heard a peep about moving to Key until the SB stripped the team concept and science program status and designated it a neighborhood school outside it’s bounds. All those donors pouring money into science lab and nature features? They had no designs on key.

This is completely different than new schools coming on line and children being moved around to attend a new school. Opening a new school offers a reasonable ROI for a community and solves capacity problems. This solves no capacity problems.
