[quote=Anonymous][quote]A toddler and elementary playground, a sprayground, heavily-used basketball and tennis courts (I've taken tennis lessons there myself), and a picnic shelter where we personally have been to at least four birthday parties over the years (and we don't even live near there). A lot of people would be rightfully ticked off if they razed all of that to add some extra trailers to ASFS instead of doing the swap.

But do go on thinking only about yourself. It's a good look for you.[/quote]

Tennis courts, basketball courts, and picnic shelter can stay and be used after school and on weekends by the public (like facilities at other elementary schools.  The playground can be rebuilt to serve the school.  The only thing which would might be completely lost would be the sprayground.  That's would be a loss, for sure, but perhaps it could be retained and just turned off during school hours.

None of this does anything for me personally.  My kids are in HS now.  We live next to ASFS (zoned for Taylor), but my kids did not get in and they went to Key (and ultimately Gunston).  The county needs more elementary school seats (though not as badly as it needs HS seats), and there are not a lot of places to add capacity without leaving an elementary school without outdoor play space.  This is an opportunity to do that.[/quote]
