Is Nottingham going to be the new option school in Arlington or its still being decided?

No way will I continue to pay the r/e taxes I'm currently paying if 22 buses are coming up and down our streets everyday. This decision will be very costly to the County.

So this is really about sending all the buses to south arlington to crowd our quiet neighborhood streets since our property values are lower.

THANKS FOR OUTING HOW NORTH ARLINGTON FAMILIES REALLY FEEL. I thought this what it was about, but no one dared to say in on line until now.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out lady. I am sure there will be plenty of people lined up to buy you McMansion.

My house value will probably go down since when I bought it was zoned for Henry but it likely won’t be when Fleet opens. Can I get a tax credit?

People are such babies.

Stop being stupid. First, our home values won't go down, if anything they'll probably go up once we're a short distance from a really good elementary school *and* ATS. Second, even if our home values were to go down, that's not how APS should be making this decision.

No, this person doesn't speak for all of us and you know it. Let's please try to be grown-ups here.

Agreed. This is crazy talk, not reflective of where most N Arlington families stand. Yes, we're all looking out for our local school. But I think it's dawning on everyone now that we've reached the point where there is no passing the buck. The current situation demands a massive reorganization of how elementary seats are allocated, and where. Not to mention the fact that if we want a 4th HS to relieve overcrowding at W-L, we may have to give up on a couple new elementary schools. And to the "22 busses" lady, you don't get to reduce your own real estate taxes due to traffic on your street.

Thank you. This is such freakin nonsense. Your house value won't go down. Your school zone doesn't' impact your value as much as you think, lady. Also, you sounds like a total jerk and I can't wait for my kids to get zoned out of your neighborhood.

People, I suspect this poster doesn't actually live in the area given how he/she seems to have mixed up Jamestown and Discovery a couple of times now. Someone is trolling.

Exactly. That poster doesn't speak for MOST of us. And I strongly suspect that most of the us vs them posters are just trolls and drama llamas. It is NOT about sending buses to S. Arlington. It is about not needlessly increasing buses ANYWHERE.

Agreed but talk to the ASFS parents who are worried about their home values if a S. Arlington school comes to Key. They claim their community will be divided if they all have to go to a new neighborhood school at Key so they need APS to move ASFS over to the Key building to keep the community together—which makes no sense because if they are all moving to a “new” Key neighborhood school, their community should stay intact, albeit at a new location.

Apparently, though, it’s too distressing for them to lose their science program so they want the taxpayers to pay to move ASFS to Key for them. Whatever new school that would come to Key is apparently not good enough. Will be interesting to see if APS and the SB cave to their demands, especially after Murphy’s email about being equitable and transparent. Not sure how moving one neighborhood school to another neighborhood school to appease a small set of homeowners is a smart use of APS funds.

If they are concerned about personal financial investments that they made in science equipment then they can make personal financial investments in moving the science equipment.

How would a South Arlington school come to Key?

Can we agree that neither a change in Key to neighborhood nor a change in MckinTuckNottDiscov to option will decrease property values? The premise is ridiculous.
