It's all relative.[/quote]

And your point is?  What does school system size have to do with this discussion? [/quote]

It has everything to do with ACPS. Alexandria City has had on of the highest earned incomes for decades yet the Mayorships under Ticer, Kerry, Euille leadership declined to funnel money to improve our public educational system. It's only been recently that the money to ACPS has flowed (as opposed to developers).

Not at all the case, PP.  Both Ticer and Euille significantly increased ACPS funding.  Euille presided over the complete rebuild of one school and the construction of an entirely new high school complex, replacing a truly decrepit facility with a modern and fully scalable facility.  Euille also oversaw an operating budget that increased teacher and licensed staff salary increases of almost 15% during a three-cycle period.  Ticer had presided over two school rebuilds.  Not sure about Kerry Donley, but your post is simply wrong on two of those names.  The fact that ACPS has a limitless blank check now, from the current city council, does not mean that ACPS has historically been underfunded.  It hasn't.  If anything, under the current school board, ACPS staff salaries have become very unattractive.

Euille didn't do enough for ACPS. That's an obvious fact based on current reality. I guess we could throw in the Old Town sewer issue too to be fair.[/quote]
