So glad the ATS guy is so proud of all the open-minded collaborative work they've done into late nights and weekends....just like staff.

and the Key speakers of course entirely lack data. They criticize APS's data, and just argue with platitudes. e.g. 'most of our Spanish speakers don't have cars and walk or use public transit to get their kids to school.' that is a total lie- as is clear from the APS Go survey.

If they think a lot of people are angry now, just wait until they announce that they’re going with the crazy boundary scenario after all.


APS Staff should put up McKinley's proposal as option 3...there would be No Mercy.

That’s what happens when people are only thinking about their own tiny slice of the system rather than the system as a whole.

Unless you're a parent, any 5th grade concert could easily put you to sleep.
