[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) Reed will be a neighborhood school. Accept it and move on (as I am doing, despite being a Nottingham parent who would be less likely to change schools if they made Reed option).

2) There are no perfect solutions here, or even great ones.  There are only options that make the best of the situation at hand.  So if you’re claiming your proposed solution is awesome, stop being disingenuous.  And if you’re saying a solution you don’t like is a non-starter because it’s not ideal, also stop being disingenuous.[/quote]

Guessing you're in that one Nottingham planning unit that is south of Lee Highway and near Reed, so you're part of the group pushing for Reed to be a neighborhood school.

I don't think it's a done deal at all. Why should Westover get a special promise to have a neighborhood school? Every school and site should be looked at equally to do what's best for the whole county, not give special protection to one neighborhood. An option school in Westover makes a lot of sense. It's a central location and it's less disruptive to existing school communities.

And the traffic arguments are just hilarious. That site is no less equipped for traffic than other school sites in Arlington.[/quote]
