[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP who first mentioned the new high school.  I said that WL families would have priority, others would then lottery and test in.  We all know how it goes with a specific area getting preference, it eventually becomes primarily for that geographic area because so few spots are available for other kids in other areas. So yes, it is in S. Arlington, but priority for N. Arlington kids. What the county needs is a new general high school, not a choice school with preferences. This enables the county to take just enough kids away from over crowded high schools to avoid a whole new high school.

I don't even know what to say about this. I find it hard to believe that this is really happening - building a school in South Arlington that will give priority to North Arlington students.  Hahaha!  So all the neighbors can look in envy at the new school while they sit in traffic caused by the new school? I bet they haven't included Arlington Heights and Penrose in those closed door discussions.

Ditto!  If this turns out to be true, it would be unbelievable - no words !!!
The school board - I don't know what to say anymore about them!
First hand witnessed: 
-Murphy tells a mom who introduced herself in front of a huge audience "you are clearly too old to have a first grader!" 
(Granted, somewhat off topic, but I can't forget)
-Murphy tells Henry parents that their neighborhood has the least children of any neighborhood in Arlington, and he expects less kids in this zone with each coming year. One year later, Henry gets their first trailers. Two years later Henry sets  a new record for Kindergarten enrollment.
I can't believe anything the school board announces or promises anymore.  I'm very skepical of their motivations, intentions, and plans.[/quote]
