I never imagined Reid as the voice of reason.

Seriously. I'm in the first tier of the Reed walk zone and they are going to continue to bus my kids to Tuckahoe so they can bus McKinley kids to a school which is a five minute walk from my door. Pathetic.

It’s outrageous and I hope the Westover business community and the non-parent parts of that neighborhood in the County know this is going on.

Westover will be a ZOO with the car and bus traffic.

Why does HPOK get special treatment to avoid the traffic that is impacting every other neighborhood in Arlington? Boo-hoo.

Reid: Why aren't we addressing South Arlington?
Lisa: Because you told me to do the lowest number of moves possible.
Reid: But why aren't we moving anyone?

Slow clap for Reid.

Duran needs to get a grip with this. Huge misstep.

Why is R. Goldstein the only one with any back bone?
I love the way he's standing up for S. Arlington and the less affluent families who don't have a loud voice like the McK families.

No, Duran directed this.

I'm a fan of Reid. Have been for awhile. See my comment on him having a back bone. I think he's often the voice of reason on the SB.

Because they built a massive school on a tiny side street where there is already a middle school and a public library. Sorry where else is that happening in the county??

Same, neighbor, but I’m honestly not sure I care at this point. I just feel like the entire process is geared toward easing the transition for McKinley kids though under these proposals it seems like the vast majority of them would be staying together, just at a different location. I honestly just feel like I would rather have my kids stay where they are, not caught in the middle of this pissing contest between the HpOk CA complaining about traffic and buses, and and McK parents demanding that Reed be their exclusive neighborhood school. Particularly given what a mess this year is.

Ah, is that who this was coming from. Honestly I am a fan of the rip the bandaid approach.

BTW good luck McKinley when Reed is pretty much overcrowded Day 1. I guess they have a passion for overstuffed schools.

Fleet/TJ? Discovery/Williamsburg? Kenmore/Carlin Springs? Sorry HPOK, you guys aren't that special.

The McKinley PTA is driven by predictable planning units.

A lot of people aren’t paying attention because they are Reed no matter what and are going to wake up and realize their new school is already overcrowded and wonder what the hell happened.

I'm with you, but I have a young elementary school child at this point. If they are going to move us to Reed, I want it to be now, not in 2 years when I have a 4th or 5th grader. I also want APS to spend their $$ on building new schools and improving education and not bussing kids. Honestly if they are going to go with Option B they might as well leave McKinley in the current building and just move ATS to Reed.

Sorry none of those are on a road like Reed is on also with a commercial center right there too. None of those examples.

Fleet/TJ? Discovery/Williamsburg? Kenmore/Carlin Springs? Sorry HPOK, you guys aren't that special.
