[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just double checked and Park Shirlington will remain Abingdon. That’s 293 units of CAF that will remain Abingdon. Honestly, given all the CAFs that have been built in Arlington over the last decade, it’s impossible to balance the socioeconomics of schools in South Arlington. This proposal, while maybe not being the absolute best they could do for Drew, also isn’t the worst. They aren’t sending Park Shirlington or the newer CAF on Columbia Pike to Drew. Massive resistance works, in Arlington anyway. It will be a cold day in hell when they upzone the identical transit corridor of “Langston BLVD” to do its fair share to further affordable housing in Arlington. They wouldn’t even consider making the area around EFC METRO accessible to anyone but SFH owners. It’s the county’s number 1 priority, and they won’t disturb the status quo, because then the will be waking into a hornet’s nest. All are welcome, just south of 50.[/quote]

They are only moving 60-70 students to Drew, many of whom will either option out or go to private school. This is just a prelude to sending Columbia Grove to Drew to fill it. It’s literally across the street from a Planning unit that is being moved to Drew, and it’s not in Abingdon’s walk zone. It’s just a matter of time before it’s moved. [/quote]

Columbia Grove/Columbia Forest could potentially shift north in the upcoming larger scope boundary change. Maybe that's why they are holding off on moving it now. I think they may need Drew to absorb more of Oakridge's kids...[/quote]

Columbia Forest resident here. Shift north? Where? We’re stuck here with many elementary schools close by, but unavailable to neighborhood kids for one reason or another. Randolph, Campbell, Claremont, Carlin Springs, Abingdon are all closer to me than Drew. I can’t remember if my part of the neighborhood is going to Drew or not. It’s exhausting and I know it will change again in a few years. [/quote]
