[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are solutions.  The residents of Green Valley will not consider it. They condemn their own children to a subpar school because of their obstinance. [/quote]
What solutions are those?[/quote]

GV residents will not accept Drew as anything other than a neighborhood school. The people complaining about it don't even have kids and like the idea of a neighborhood school but have no skin in the game.[/quote]

GV resident here. Please don't categorize us in one lump. The neighborhood is gentrifying. It is not one single homogenous opinion. If you have concerns I would strongly suggest you reach out to the Green Valley Civic Association and County Board.

Our child goes to Claremont--we speak Spanish and prioritized that, but, we were prepared to go to Drew if we did not win the lottery. Met with Principal Graves before she transitioned, etc.

I fully believe that if the GV community insisted on having a neighborhood school, the neighborhood school can absolutely insist on a safe neighborhood. And should push on the civic association and county board to take any steps necessary to ensure that outcome. [b]This is not rocket science, but, a matter of stepping up enforcement and actions to deter problematic behaviors.[/b] Just my two cents.

This is kind of hilariously naive.  Sure the scope of Arlington's issue is much smaller, but these are clearly not easy issues to solve.  Never have been and never will be.[/quote]
