ACC as swing space: Great idea!

[Anonymous]

Raise the elementary school, make it green space, and move the current ES lottery school up north. That community will go anywhere...like the ATS community.

I don’t hate this idea and it’s well positioned in the county. TJ desperately needs a pair. It would be easy for them.

I think they should hold off on the green space. Keep the Montessori where it is, build a new school where the old ACC sits. There should be a good elementary school in that area. Lots of young families in South Arlington, and not right to shift an entire school around. Next year?!

Fleet is a couple blocks away, there is no reason to build a new elementary school right there. The MPSA building is old and in disrepair

There's no reason to build a new elementary school when APS currently has 1300 extra seats for Prek-5.

Montessori needs to move. That building is in bad shape. It was supposed to be demoed years ago.

We need the green space where that building is. It was part of the plan, and already paid for in the last CIP!
