[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious.  Does anyone have any sense how much a brand new high school would cost?  I know that last meeting sounded discouraging but I thought at the end of the slides (still want to know what deck they were using since tuned in late to meeting on tv) they mentioned examining VHC property.

I just want to know how much that would cost v. the HB Woodlawn construction.  Yes, PP, i know that there was a battle over the Stafford land some months back.  But, it still doesn't make much sense to allocate almost $100 million for 775 seats when there are so many kids all across Arlington who won't have adequate space in their schools.

Why should we prop up such a small number of kids (who were just lucky in some random lottery drawing) when all kids need basic classrooms/schools?[/quote]

The Stratford program needs to go somewhere, and the middle school and high school kids at H-B need to go somewhere. And the Wilson space is one of the spaces available. So if putting H-B and Stratford there is coming off the table, people need to figure out:

a) where does the Stratford program go, and what will it cost to configure that space, and how it will be done in time for the new middle school to open at the current Stratford location
b) what impact does moving the 200 middle school kids back into their neighborhood schools have on seat deficits and how will it be addressed
c) what impact does moving the 400 high school kids back into their neighborhood schools have on seat deficits and how will it be addressed
d) what are we going to do with the Wilson site, and at what cost, and what effect does it have on north Arlington boundaries, and what is the timing of the changes
