   Comments: Taylor parent of 2 in a the Bellevue Forest planning unit slated to move to Jamestown. Key and ASFS should not be hybrid neighborhood/choice schools; they should be one or the other. Excluding them from the current boundary discussions appears arbitrary, especially when the ASFS neighborhood stretches Taylor's boundaries at the expense of its nearby neighborhoods just to the north. APS needs a comprehensive plan, not a piecemeal approach that will only force these questions to be revisited in a few years' time.

   Comments: I moved to Arlington from Chevy Chase, DC a year ago specifically to be in the Taylor school district. I'm building a house on N Vernon Street and leasing a house on Vermont. Both are walking distance to Taylor - now the plan is to move us to a different school. BAD PLAN!

    Comments: The board likes to say this is a problem in the western part of the county. That's disingenuous when the problem is being pushed west because there is no home school in the north east and mid north central (around Science Focus).

You could live a street away but no win the lotto no go! oh yea, 80 Taylor families tried to get in this year. Only 7 were allowed by lotto. Go figure!

    Name: Melissa Hall on Feb 24, 2013

    Comments: Taylor parent. ASFS and Key should start functioning as neighborhood schools. One need only look at the huge expanse of the county that is assigned to Taylor to see that a Clarendon/Rosslyn neighborhood school is needed. Also, all the choice schools, ASFS, Key, ATS, HB, should be part of the discussion. The choice schools are nice to have, but not when it comes at the expense of the quality of education (due to overcrowding at non choice schools) and safety (due to lengthy bus rides) as the rest of the north Arlington school population. One the lottery system was required, the choice schools ceased to serve their purpose (they are not a "choice"). A system where the few that are lucky enough to win the lottery get arguably a superior education is patently unfair.

    Comments: our children walked to Taylor when they were in elementary school and we support school boundaries that would permit Taylor neighbors to continue to walk there rather than being bussed to another elementary school.

    Comments: There should be a "neighborhood" school for those families in Clarendon -- Taylor is not our in our neighborhood (I am in Lyon Village). However, families currently at ASFS should be allowed to remain there.

    Comments: Excluding ASF and Key from redistricting considerations makes no sense because it directly leads to an overpopulation for Taylor (among others) and adversly affects other families living closer to Taylor.

    Comments: I agree with the issues and feel that Arlington cannot offer one science-focus school that isn't open to the entire county. (Nottingham parent)
