APS: Think the "no move" campaign is going to work?

[Anonymous]

This is so many moving pieces when you think about staff and transportation. Is the county really going to be able to pull this off?

No, he’s an idiot. Anyone who understands a boundary process knows you can’t say for sure how many kids will move until the boundaries are done. He’s posturing and being difficult because that’s what he does. But he never actually does anything more than that.

He passed on very specific questions that were clearly posed to him by members of the public.

yeah- he was trying to repeat the Key talking point, which only makes sense to those who are within the Key boundary- that somehow they will still need more seats in the Rosslyn neighborhood so thus the move is pointless. First part true- second part- uh no- it will give them 600 seats- that's a good start.

I continue to be baffled by this argument. “We can’t fix everything completely right now, so let’s make things even worse instead.” Huh?

Can anyone from Key explain how their magical alternative proposal creates more seats in the R-B corridor than adding a whole school worth of neighborhood seats? I don’t understand where they think these seats are coming from. Are they really just pretending like pushing Long Branch kids west and filling those with kids from Courthouse is creating more seats than moving immersion and filling Long Branch AND Key with neighborhood seats?

They can pull it off better than the alternative.

Yes, in fact their plan is specifically designed to accommodate many of those changes.

That’s unfair to the vast majority of “mommies” in Arlington.

She was there. She didn't speak, but she sat in one of the front rows and made a lot of gestures and faces throughout the meeting.

Does she actually think she’s helping her cause by doing that? It kind of just underscores how selfish and childish they’re being.

Yes, she does think she’s helping the cause. She’s kind of socially stunted and doesn’t appreciate how people respond to her.

I still view this as a jump ball. No idea what the board will do.

I had the same observation.

In this meeting and at least one previous one, admission that mistakes have been made has been what triggered the nasty laughter in the crowd. I’m glad that TT called out the hecklers this time, and that the board has publicly spoken in support of staff.

Go, TT! I'm really glad she called out their rude, immature behavior.

Best thing she's done her whole tenure.

Can someone please share this proposal?

I think Key needs to realize that it’s going to ATS. The potential of additional ATS slots has some folks very excited.
