[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Did you hear the eagerness in the school board member who was marveling at how economic a solution flex scheduling is?[/quote]

Hey, how about the high schools get APS and county space for classrooms during the school day, and school and county employees work a flex schedule -- late and early shifts?

[quote]This is really depressing.  If we had acted earlier, could we have made them find the land to build a 4th high school?[/quote]

You can't make them find land. There's only so much in Arlington.

Had parents been willing to compromise more, it might (MIGHT) have been possible to earn the county's goodwill by reducing demands for funds and land: Affordable housing on the Buck property, a high school (or building that included a high school) on the VHC property. Giving up 1:1 and FLES, going back to early release but providing a bigger subsidy for extended day for low-income households.

Every time you demand that the county "fully fund" a bloated budget, you're cementing your reputation as grabby. [/quote]

It is NOT grabby to see a high school deficit of 2,700 seats and think "hey, a new high school would be appropriate here."  It is not grabby to think flex scheduling and internet learning are not good enough solutions to a seat crisis when we have just committed to spending $100M on 750 high school seats.[/quote]
