[quote=Anonymous]Does someone here have the figures that the SB mentioned last night re: the actual number of seats that will be created through Arlington Tech and the other mid-sized HS?  I did feel some sense of relief when the SB member mentioned that they were going to start looking at possible sites for future school seats; however, I'm also getting angry when I see how wasteful the SB has been on allocating its resources.

Do we really need state of the art facilities for certain elementary schools (slides etc.) and gadgets (Ipads and Airbooks) for all 2nd and 9th graders.  Yes, I realize some of the stuff isn't a huge amount of money, but shouldn't ensuring that every child is APS has an adequate classroom first be a priority v. shelling out millions here and there for extras?!!  Also for upgrades, etc.  I haven't seen the condition of the schools that were upgraded recently but my cousin who's kids went/go to Langley said they almost fell over when they came to an APS HS for a recent event b/c of how much nicer the facilities were compared to their top ranked school.  Shouldn't we think about stretching out the upgrades/renovations a bit longer until we can at least get the entire 7th graders at Swanson out of trailers?!![/quote]
