[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This must be the triennial cycle to put TJ on the chopping block. Having said that, if people want to send their kids to another county's school, I say move to that county. TJ is an entitlement. We do not have to support this.[/quote] Not accurate to describe this simply as "another county's school." It's a governor's school that is subsidized with state funding.[/quote] These numbers don't make sense. Let's say APS sends 100 kids to TJ across all four grades. The alleged savings by cutting TJ is $290,000. Are we supposed to believe it costs $29,000 more per student to have them serviced in a Fairfax school vs. an Arlington school? According to APS's own website, the cost per student to attend an Arlington school is $19,000. Are we supposed to believe that Arlington is paying TJ $48,000 per student to attend (thus costing the county $29,000 more per student to send them). I call BS. [/quote]
