[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Under the proposal, ACPS would pay the Fairfax County district about $213,000 for the initial 14-student enrollment, a portion of which would go toward school renovation costs. By 2018, ACPS would pay upward of $943,000 for 53 students. School officials say transportation of students — an expense not included in the payment estimates — may add $22,000 to $46,000 a year to the final cost."[/quote]

First, what is the source? Second, know that ACPS will highball the TJ numbers surely as they low ball other numbers as suits them.

The Alexandria City School Board recently (November 2014) voted to transfer over half a million dollars from newly found unused or finished facility budget to CIP dedicated for the installation of TCW HS foot ball field lights: "Installing lights alone at the football stadium would cost between $700,000 and $800,000, but in conjunction with other upgrades to the facility, the total price tag could reach $3.5 million, officials have said (total cost estimated 2.43 million with field upgrade)."

Struggle, struggle, boil and trouble. Serve the mass, ignore select students at your own peril, ACPS. The backlash momentum is building as City residents see their tax dollars misspent not on academic focus. City revenue is tight, incomes are flat and year to date prices of residential real estate is down from last year. Bad time to not be focusing on basic necessities: improving ACPS rigor, accreditation and reputation will go a long way to bringing in new families and urban employers (whose employees demand an excellent academic public school system).
