[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They’re doing now what they should have done in the last boundary change. Abingdon’s growth isn’t going to slow, and Drew has space. They are adjacent. It’s not rocket surgery.[/quote]
They won’t move Fairlington, they’ll find some other solution with fringe planning units[/quote]

Their proposal makes clear they are not moving Fairlington.  They are moving the planning units that aren't even contiguous and contain affordable housing.  [/quote]

There are no more contiguous PUs to pull in. Anything would be non-contiguous. The justification for the units they are planning to move is they already take a bus to Abingdon, now they will just take a bus to Drew.

But yeah, most of the people I know who live in the SFH/townhome/duplexes in those PUs already go to an option school- mostly Claremont and Campbell. Drew will remain a high poverty school. Not much can be done about it. [/quote]

Fairlington is also NOT in the walk zone to Abingdon.   So, why not move it?  Oh wait.  Because APS doesn't want the fight.  [/quote]
