[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christian and Katie are parents to under 18 kids.  Libby Garvey was on the school board for years prior to county board.  They think about schools all the time.

This is like asking your community pool board to only think about the swim team.  Facts are the majority of people in the county do not use the schools and while schools are an important part of any community, there are a lot of other priorities to balance as well.  In Arlington, schools get a lot of support.[/quote]

Okay I stand corrected.

I disagree it's like thinking of only the swim team. Of course there are other important things in the county. I use a lot of those services too and they are important to me. I just think that schools are not a high enough priority. Schools are never fully funded, they don't seem to have really considered the impact of schools on missing middle housing or trying to get amazon here, and I just see a lot of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ when it comes to overcrowding, both from the board APS.
