[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what position exactly are they pushing? the only thing you've included here is a list of suggested considerations? isn't that what APS asked for in the survey? why is that advocacy against anyone's interests?[/quote]

If you read the whole discussion before jumping in to criticize people, you would have seen the letter sent by the PTA to the SB advocating for Tuckahoe to remain a neighborhood school (which necessarily would come at the expense of other interests). There is a whole page on the Tuckahoe website under the PTA link with similar advocacy.[/quote]

How can the CCPTA advocate for all of the PTAs in Arlington?  If the Tuckahoe PTA is gaming the system should the rest of the Arlington county PTAs advise the SB to move an option school balancing enrollment?  Especially in drastically overcrowded parts of APS.  How else can the CCPTA provide advice to the SB?[/quote]

I haven't seen the CCPTA weigh in on this issue at all, but please share if I've missed something. The kinds of things I've seen them advocate for are increased funding for the school system as a whole, clearer statements of student rights, making sure students are given full recess time and ensuring that all students have the requisite internet access to complete homework assignments. I haven't seen them get involved in issues where the interests of different parts of the community are at odds with each other. I know they get updates from the SB on the boundary issue, but that's not the same thing as advocating for a particular solution.[/quote]
