[quote=Anonymous]I support Duran's plan to do the limited boundary change now. We're in a pandemic and many kids are struggling with isolation. At least seeing familiar faces online helps a little. Plus we're not likely to be back in school next year (or at least not full time) and PTAs aren't likely to be able to hold large in person events that help build new communities when boundaries change. I understand that some of you with preschool kids are not thrilled that you might have to move boundaries in 1st or 2nd grade under this plan, but that might have happened anyway. If a choice program moves up from the south, that will impact every school in north Arlington. And with Cristina or Dave or Symone get on the board, we are likely to be looking a lot more closely at demographics and the potential for more busing and more choice schools (at least with Cristina on the SB). Duran is doing the minimum now to give himself time to learn the APS system and implement bigger changes once the pandemic passes. Families with preschool kids who recently paid crazy prices for north Arlington homes in order to be guaranteed certain schools-- well, you didn't do your due diligence. Nothing is guaranteed right now.  [/quote]
