[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are only so many highly rated elementary schools in Arlington and you guys begrudge them or advocate for them to be closed? 100% agree, you guys are nuts. [/quote] DP I begrudge them because they haven’t demonstrated demand to warrant such an expansion at the K-8 level. It’s a literal waste of money to build seats that may not be occupied. If APS wants to expand Pre-K access for lower income kids by expanding MPSA and can figure out how to fund it, meaning charging $0 for income-qualified families, I’m all for it! Otherwise I am not in favor, especially when the VPI program is being cut. [/quote] Low income families vote with their feet. They go for pre-k and then go back to their neighborhood school for elementary. It’s a bunch of BS about 2/3 of seats set aside for low income. They set them aside but low income families don’t take them or don’t stay. [/quote]
