[quote=Anonymous]I believe there is no current proposal for boundary changes, though it certainly is possible as Arlington is having major overcrowding issues and it definitely could happen.  MS is very crowded right now, not Jefferson, Gunston or Kenmore -- since they are under capacity, it wouldn't seem to make sense to shift kids out of those boundaries, only to add to them (but that's likely to be controversial, even more so than building a new school, and I don't think it has been proposed by the school board yet).  But if they go forward with a new middle school (which seems very likely), it's unclear whether any of those kids would come from the under capacity schools - presumably most of them would be from the over capacity schools.

Right now they seem focused on building new schools and/or expanding current ones -- the current proposal on the table is to build a new elementary school right by Jefferson, and if that doesn't pass, then to expand several elementary schools.  The school board put off the decision on building a new middle school, and are proposing a bond that would raise funds for it without saying yet where it will be.[/quote]
