So, I think that means every single elementary school in South Arlington will be Title 1. I believe the only ES in North Arlington that is Title 1 is Barrett, and that’s practically across the street. So much segregation.

If you look at the current boundary map, it shows the Goodwill site as green for Barcroft. Not saying that’s good—just pointing it out.

Correct. The Goodwill site is in Alcova Heights, which is districted to Barcroft with the one exception of the recent Gilliam Place APAH project. APS did zone that building to Fleet, knowing Fleet was losing FRL students and Barcroft was 60%+ They could (and should) district that part of Alcova Heights to Fleet because it is a stone's throw away. They won't designate it within the walk zone because of Glebe; but for MS it is already in the walk zone (TJ being literally right next to Fleet).

If they rezone that corner to Fleet then they will have to rezone something away from Fleet. Fleet will reach capacity with Bank of America and Westmont apartment buildings, with no place to put trailers.

If those buildings actually aren't affordable housing, they could be directed to Drew or Barcroft. win-win.

Westmont? That can’t be zoned to Fleet, it’s south of the Pike and East of Glebe and out of the Fleet Zone, no?

"Could be directed" = "could be zoned to." That's the point. They can carve it away from Drew. So actually, win-win-win.

You realize that Fleet itself and basically its whole zone is east of Glebe, right? Also, Westmont is at the intersection of Glebe and the the Pike, NE side. I agree that that building should be zone to Barcroft (or maybe Drew) though.

No, Westmont is on the northeast corner of Columbia Pike and Glebe, in the same neighborhood as Fleet (Arlington Heights). It’s where the original Five Guys was (and is supposedly returning).
