[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reed is the logical choice to turn back into an ES - on many levels.[/quote] Every community is going to fight any repurposed building being turned into a school (traffic! green space! taking amenities away from people without kids!). It also takes more money to renovate a school (more of an issue for Madison than Reed) than to build new, compared to the number of additional seats you get. That's one reason the two-additions plan in south Arlington is kind of a non-starter--if its 80K for a new school and 50K per school to renovate two schools, we should just build a new school. At some point they may need to bring Reed, Madison, et al online, but that won't be until after they have exhausted locations for new schools. [/quote]
