[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How big is the VHC site?  Could they put fields at Kenmore but the classrooms there?

Or is this Career Center or nothing?  I know that nice big plot at Kenmore is untouchable for a high school building but something has to be built there. [/quote]

There is a middle school and elementary school already at that site.[/quote]

The elementary school sits on four acres of its own.  The middle school sits on well over 30 acres.  The Career center site is 12 acres.  Yorktown sits on 11+ acres (plus the adjacent Greenbrier Park facilities).  TJMS/Community Center and the new elementary school sit on 12 acres (plus the 15 acres of adjacent parkland/facilities for a total of 27 acres).

That's 2000 students on Yorktown's 11 acres; 1750 elementary and middle school students on 12 acres at TJ; up to 4,000 students being considered for the Career Center's 12 acres; and  a mere 1000-ish students on 32 plus acres at Kenmore (not counting Carlin Springs students and their four acres).

So, you are suggesting that we can't put a high school or anything else on 36+ acres of land because there is already a middle school and an elementary school (which are separated by about 30 acres)?!?!?[/quote]

Yes. That is what the SB and CB are saying. Welcome to the conversation. Now move on.[/quote]

No, that's what you and the rest of your selfish neighbors are saying.  Time for YOU to move on.[/quote]

No sweetie, the whole conversation has moved past Kenmore. WHOOSH...  you’re a year late.  How is volunteering your neighborhood to house a 4th comprehensive high school — WHEN NO ONE ELSE WNATS IT! Selfish?
You really don’t have a handle on this.

The previous comments referred to the question whether it is CC or nothing and noting that there is a big plot of land on the Kenmore site.  Glencarlyn is the selfish neighborhood insisting nothing else can go on 32 acres of empty space - not Arlington Heights.  SB and CB say it can't be done at Kenmore because of Glencarlyn's pushback, not because it can't be done.  THAT's what my comments were referring to....not Arlington Heights.[/quote]
