[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone keeping up with the debate in Arlington about renovations to TJMS? https://www.arlnow.com/2025/11/18/students-parents-and-staff-push-aps-to-commit-to-tj-middle-school-upgrades/[/quote]

It was planned to be replaced completely way back in 2005 by Perkins Eastman as the architect. The renderings were beautiful. Some of the older parents might remember the community meetings. The new TJ would have been built where the Fleet School is today.

Hopefully the money can be found to tear down and replace completely. It can be a joint project with the county since it is also a recreation center. So funding could be shared for a new auditorium and gym to be used by both the school and the community.

[b]The holding school for TJ can be the old Career Center building. That site makes perfect sense since the original TJ Junior High was located right there[/b]. [/quote]

Yes to all of this.

APS has hired a private consultant firm four times (!) already, each one coming to the same conclusion (surprise!); the current TJ building needs urgent attention. [/quote]
