[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who knows. They had two chances to do it already and punted both times.[/quote]

Teh 2nd time they punted because of Covid.

The first time they just...threw up their hands.

I don't know how they think they will be able to only re-draw these 2 schools.  It was clear from the last go round (re-doing boundaries when Fleet opened, and Drew dropped Montessori) that the ENTRIE COUNTY needed to be adjusted to make any sort of meaningful shifts.

If they move S. Fairlington, they raise the FRL rate at Abingdon significantly.  It wasn't an easy solution to do that.  They need to shift things NORTH to balance all the housing on Columbia Pike.  There are several very big AH complexes on the Pike that go to Abingdon, and there is no other school nearby that can absorb them.  Randolph, no.  Barcroft, no, Carlin Springs, no.

It's very hard to rebalance without involving more zones.  They made bad choice moving Key to ATS.  Mainly because Claremont's Immersion should probably be moved to Carlin Springs and make that a neighborhood school.  [b]But they can't have both Immersion schools in the same part of the county.[/b][/quote]

Why not? There was a huge emphasis on needing to be located near Spanish speaking populations and most of the Spanish speakers in Arlington county live in Buckingham and the western end of Columbia Pike. [/quote]

There are Spanish speaking populations all over Arlington.  Are you new here?[/quote]
