[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When they say “ missing middle”
I suspect they ( boomers) mean housing in north Arlington for their kids and grandkids.[/quote]

Pretty much. [/quote]

Maybe their kids can come and live in South Arlington. Then they'd care about the schools. [/quote]

I think most NA parents care deeply about SA schools, if nothing else if they improved it would likely alleviate overcrowding in the long term.

Na parents are happy to send money, resources, build new schools, whatever it takes. Sending their kids is a nonstarter both b/c of logistics and parental expectation.  That is unsurprising and not going to change.

So absent busing, what do SA schools need?  Is it simply the AH lobby dumping more and more ESOL students into the system?[/quote]

I wish that were true. There a voluntary PTA fund thru which APS school PTAs can donate to needier ones. Combined, over the last five years, the total contribution to that fund from NA schools is less than a fifth of what any single NA pta raises in a single year.
