Subject: APS: Think the "no move" campaign is going to work?
I emailed the board in support of option moves. It’s easy, so consider doing it if you haven’t!

Um, no, I was told that this particular issue is one in which white parents in Arlington are called upon to amplify the voices of parents of color. Who are all in agreement that Key should stay, as that is best for the brown children of Arlington. ALL OF THEM.
Is this satire?
Has to be.
The bit about "white parents in Arlington are called upon" is a quote from AEM. The rest is presumed.
Also note that we are being asked to take the word of a bunch of white parents, and one minority teacher- all of whom have a personal stake in this- that they speak for 'families of color.' We should take this over the views of our black bilingual superintendent who has a system wide view, and who started an immersion school (Claremont.)
I wish we could hear directly from the different EL communities around the county.
+1 I think the only reference I've seen to actually asking the ESOL community what they want in regard to immersion was staff said at some point that they talked with Spanish-speakers about why they didn't apply to immersion and the main reasons were location and wanting their kids in an predominantly English school. The fact that Claremont apparently isn't having trouble filling their Spanish-first quota and Key is points to the importance of proximity. Key likes to complain that it's all because of poor outreach by APS in the switch from neighborhood preference + lottery to lottery only but Claremont did the same thing and doesn't have a problem. Clearly, Key's location is an issue but the "Key Key" group won't admit that.
Why is staff meeting in closed sessions with "some" groups and not others? Shouldn't the McKinley PTA get the same from the staff that the ESOL community is getting?
I think we've all heard plenty from McKinley PTA. Sit down.

That certainly is the narrative the AEM nutters are trying to push. Sorry, the facts just don't support that.

Childish? Concentrating poverty at Drew And taking seats from Fleet for NA is more than childish.

There are some very good questions being asked in those AEM posts, I’ll be interested to see if the McKinley people have responses.
