I see that Tuckahoe has a new principal after the 12 year tenure of the previous principal. Did the old principal retire? Move to another school? Curious… TIA |
He’s still with APS; took a front office job. |
and he wasn't there anywhere close to 12 years- I think he started in approximately 2016? maybe? |
Isn't Tuckahoe going to be an option school? This is probably the first step in the process. |
They’re looking at Tuckahoe and Nottingham right? They both have overlapping walks zones with discovery- which is drastically under populated since Covid and can take on more students. |
Haven’t heard that rumor, are they planning on moving a current one or starting a new one? |
They just moved option schools, what’s left to do? Sounds like you have old information. |
This was a huge deal right before covid. Nottingham has only 2 classes of K and 4th. When my kids started, they had four of each. I think tuckahoe isn’t even worse. I think tuckahoe will become the option school as it’s not in the middle of a neighborhood. I also think we should get rid of option schools. |
Oh sweetie, you’re about two years behind. ![]() |
DP here. You are a rude person. I can tell you for certain there’s absolutely discussion about the Tuckahoe, Nottingham, discovery issue/potential solutions due to a lack of enrollment, overlapping boundaries, etc. when you have under enrolled elementary schools in North Arlington and overcrowded schools in south Arlington, it’s a poor look. |
Where are those discussions happening? They just did a comprehensive review of option school locations, and decided to move ATS and Key to their current locations. |
The option school discussion was going on when they changed the boundaries to create Cardinal. At that time there was supposed to be a district-wide boundary adjustment process (that could have led to an additional option school) this Fall. Enrollment dropped and the School Board officially said last Spring they’re not looking at boundaries. So not happening anytime soon. |
All school systems have logistical discussions in planning for the future; especially when there are inequalities. Nothing is imminent. |
How rude of you not to indulge PP’s efforts to stir up drama! |
Someone, somewhere, is talking about doing something, someday. |
