[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot stress enough how important it is to send a quick email to the School Board at school.board@apsva.us

Something along the lines of:

Dear APS School Board members:

I live in Arlington and I vote. I am concerned about overall school capacity countywide and flexibility to meet future demand. Please ensure any new high school seats are neighborhood seats, which offer the most flexibility in the future and do not use the 1300 seats for a choice program. Please also plan for the 1300 seats as the beginning of a fourth comprehensive high school.[/quote]

I simply disagree.  Choice seats are more flexible than neighborhood seats.
If they build a 'neighborhood' school with the 1300 seats it will not be equal to the existing schools, and that strikes me as extremely unfair.  I don't mind choosing to go to a school that lacks a swimming pool and a football team b/c it has something else I want.  However- to be forced by zoning to go to a school without those things, when my neighbor .5 mile a way gets a full extracurricular highschool is fundamentally unfair.[/quote]
