[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But won't the Career Center remain an option school, not a neighborhood school?  Is the school board's plan to require the Career Center, which I thought was being billed as a hands-on learning almost vo-tech type school with no arts or sports options on site as a neighborhood school for local residents?[/quote]

That's what the plan was. Now the immediate neighborhood sees an opportunity to grab the school for themselves to create a wealthier HS, for themselves. [/quote]

This seems pretty selfish of the neighborhood.[/quote]

Are you kidding? Did you want to open up your neighborhood to 3500+ kids that are busing in and out every day?  You totally should have spoken up then.
I didn’t hear anyone in Arlington raise their hand last summer and say; yes, bring all those kids here!  In fact it was the exact opposite!
There was enormous resistance in all neighborhoods in question of the type “not in my backyard”.

Arlington needs a 4th comprehensive high school - you haven’t followed this last summer apparently.
Student population is projected to increase continuously.  If we don’t build it now - Murphy has already proposed plans to go let kids go to school in “shifts”, and do “online learning”, among other things.  Most parents were not in favor of those proposals.
