[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am APS staffer and was at the hearing last night to support some colleagues. I have to say that I am utterly shocked and disappointed in how the Key community reacted when someone dissed the planning staff. They were doing that silent knocking thing and waiving their signs every single time. That community is vile and I hope that the School Board moves them out of spite. I am also ashamed that a Key teacher is leading this charge. She needs to go![/quote]

If their goal is to erode general support for options programs in Arlington County... it's working. [/quote]

Option parent here who supports the moves. Not all of us agree with what Key is doing. I'm appalled.

I hope you’ve written a letter of support. If the board decides to screw neighborhood school kids in favor of screaming option parents, it’s going to jeopardize any future option initiatives. People are already pissed off enough about HB.[/quote]

Of course I did. I'm personally pissed at the Key folks who don't seem to get this reality.

I'm not sure what you mean about being pissed about HB. About what? HB was in a really old building and didn't want to move. But then when it became clear that HB needed to move to make way for a neighborhood school, HB accepted the move, and worked with staff on the new building. What is there to be pissed about? Would you rather HB had dug in like the Key folks are doing now? [/quote]

People are pissed about the ridiculous amount of money spent (thereby limiting bonding capacity available for other needed school building projects)on an extravagantly designed school for what is essentially a private school for the lucky few able to attend and escape overcrowding. Long gone are the days when HB appealed to and served a certain type of student, which theoretically is its purpose.[/quote]
