[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 [b]allocate almost $100 million for 775 seats [/b]when there are so many kids all across Arlington who won't have adequate space in their schools.

[b]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][/b]

This is the price we are paying for north Arlington to have a new walkable middle school. We could have spent $100 million for 1000 seats at Wilson, but are moving H-B and Stratford instead, because the neighborhoods wanted the choice program and the special needs program moved to the urban site.  And now, of course, we're spending endless hours debating where to put the driveway for drop offs for the new walkable school. [/quote]
