The point is that you'd have a Spanish website and a more diverse PTA if you moved to south Arlington. When you can't even meet a quota of Spanish speakers, it has consequences, which were pointed out. Move and they'll recede.
Communications are made in both languages. You’re just embarrassing yourself at this point.

It’s a zero sum game. That’s where we’re at.
Key will take away a neighborhood school...don't you get it? Your option is not more important than my neighborhood school. Especially one that can barely fill the Spanish speaking spots.
Wait, now Key is the one suddenly taking something even though it has resided there for decades?
... as a neighborhood school. It’s not one anymore as of last fall.
It wasn’t entirely a neighborhood school before that time, dunce.

That is completely untrue. If by “taking away a neighborhood school “ you mean “my family will be rezoned to another neighborhood school that is not the one we are currently zoned to”, then what you are really doing is blaming the Key community and APS for not exempting you from the boundary process that the rest of the families in the county are going through.
So you want everyone to be bussed west in a domino effect from Taylor, Glebe, Long Branch, Barrett, etc so YOU don’t need to involved.
“Everyone?” Maybe calm down a little. Curious to know, whose neighborhood school do you literally want to take away so you can have the Key building as your neighborhood school? Which community do you think should lose their school to Key?

Look at the KEY pta website- https://www.keypta.org/home
It's in English.
Look at the Barrett PTA website- https://www.kwbarrettpta.org/
There is a prominent button to click and the entire page is translated to Spanish instantly.
BURN
Holy cow, if any Key parents are reading this, you really should get a Spanish version of the PTA site up pronto. There's not a word of Spanish on there!
Fake news.
The PTA should do more to encourage diverse applicants for the Exec board. Looks pretty white except for a few token positions.
You can’t force people to serve

Once you click through to different sections, it appears to be in Spanish and English, but the front “home” page is all English. No dog in this fight, but it IS odd for the main public-facing page of an immersion school to be entirely in English.
