[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]oh me too me too.  I am gobsmacked that they are willing to toss out everything in order to avoid moving.  e.g. let's build 1000 person elementary schools- that 750 cap is just silly.  We don't need no playground space- let's put kindergartners in sky scrapers with another 1500 kids- just so we don't need to move.[/quote]

You jest but why do all Arlington elementary schools need to be 2-3 story structures? Yes, K and PreK should go to school on ground floor for legal and safety reasons. But why can't you have 5th grade classes say on the 5th floor of a building? Heck, you can put a playground on the roof (with high fenced in areas and astroturf)? Arlington is an urbanized county. So it's not unreasonable to have some "non-traditional" schools that are taller so we don't have the issue of not enough seats when we're only considering 2-3 story "traditional" buildings.[/quote]

I believe 1st grade is also supposed to be on the egress level.

I'm not generally opposed to building higher and more creatively. It's still BS to suggest that 1500 elementary kids would fit on the Key site. [/quote]
