[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think forcible busing of kids from North Arlington to South Arlington is the answer.  I know that if someone tried to bus my kid all the way across the country to a Title I school, I'd vote with my feet and move to Falls Church, Fairfax, Montgomery or DC.  I made some major compromises and sacrifices to live in a good school boundary.

Note: I'm not fighting the plans to put more affordable housing in North Arlington.  If that's how they plan to un-concentrate the poverty, I'm fine with that.[/quote]

They aren't going to bus. That would be a nightmare for everyone. The push back! Gah!

No, they need to allow south Arlington to gentrify. Libby Garvey came out and basically admitted that they have been concentrating poverty into one area. This will all be some much easier if the CB will acknowledge reality. Seems like they might be finally starting to get their heads out of the sand.
I also think this is the first time they've started to experience real organized push back from south Arlington home owners. Thank god![/quote]
