Totally irrelevant, except to Republican trolls.

An example of wasteful spending isn’t relevant to a discussion of current spending?

Ohhhhhhkay

A one-time project coming out of the pandemic vs. basic infrastructure updates.

Absolutely not relevant, except to Republican trolls.

It’s a perfect example of APS making terrible decisions when given a huge chunk of money. Of course no one trusts them anymore!

That money should’ve gone to a number of resources that could’ve helped students at the time. Trying to make their own Virtual Virginia was an asinine decision.

And totally irrelevant to the question....

Should we fund some basic infrastructure updates across APS schools? Yes, we should.

This isn't some wacky new idea to deal with an unprecedented situation -- this is updating roofs FFS.

You people are horrible.

So let’s update some roofs. SA schools first. No funds to Montessori.

Done.

It is not irresponsible to update the kitchen and HVACs in schools?

WTF is wrong with you people?

Except that’s not what they’ll do. They’ll create a new building for Montessori.

No, they are not creating a new building. It’s an existing building.

Republicans love to spread lies.

Why are we considering a $$$$$$$$ renovation for Montessori when many of our other buildings (particularly those in SA that always get overlooked) are in need of HVAC and other updates?

So yeah, it’s gonna be a NO for me.

Are you just trolling?

The bond includes:
>Roof and HVAC upgrades at Dorothy Hamm, Escuela Key, Hoffman-Boston, Jamestown, Oakridge and Williamsburg.
>Kitchen upgrades at Arlington Science Focus, Ashlawn, Barrett and Carlin Springs.

Show me a list of most recent builds/renovations.

No more work on North Arlington buildings till South Arlington gets a major overhaul. (Especially since that’s where the majority of the students are)

Off the top of my head, for SA:
Fleet ES new school 2019
Abingdon ES addition 2018
W-L annex reno

This bond does include updates for SA schools.

Let’s compare actual numbers to what NA has gotten.

Montessori is in SA and mostly enrolls SA kids.

Right, the privileged ones who don’t want to mix with the poors.

Not totally irrelevant. If someone is given money and wastes it, it’s reasonable to think they might do it again.

Yes, PP is throwing a temper tantrum. An irrational reason to vote against the bond.

So your plan to it to never give APS money to update buildings? Because they might "waste" the money somehow?

Lots of sockpuppeting, perhaps.

Fortunately, most Arlington voters do want to support our schools and will vote yes.

I am a lifelong Democrat with kids in APS and I will vote No on Tuesday. It will be symbolic for me, since I agree there is no chance in hell that Arlington voters will say no to schools — under any conditions and particularly given the way the bond questions are phrased (as previously noted). I am frustrated by the lack of any pushback on APS spending and in general in the County. It seems from reading this thread that I am not alone. Of course, we will be a tiny minority.

Funny how APE is silent on this...

Isn’t Dorothy Hamm NEW? And Montessori needs to be eliminated anyway.

How about this — they get a refund for all the money they wasted on VPL. Use that.

what's VPL?

Their version of virtual school. You know, trying to re-invent Virtual Virginia.

Money flushed down the toilet. Tons of it.

Oh so you mean VLP, the Virtual Learning Program, not VPL. You come across as really uninformed when you criticize a program you don’t even bother to know enough about to get the name right. And really weird to be so triggered to bring it up 3 years later too. Very on brand for APE. 🦧
