[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The black and brown kids are going to get more of the resources they so desperately need.  Oh no!!! What ever shall we do?!?![/quote]

Quite the opposite. The CB is addicted to AH development, and it’s become an industry that keeps a lot of white collar people a six figure income. Every year we open another multi family development that produces 100+ high needs kids. Does the county board plan for this? No. Do the nonprofit developers acknowledge that these developments have a large impact on schools, which need additional resources? No. Did one dime of the 20 million from amazon go to schools? No, every penny went to building more affordable housing, which will in turn bring hundreds more high needs kids to APS, and south Arlington in particular, with no additional facilities or dollars to serve them. To be blunt: poor families are a money maker for the powers that be and they don’t want to put aside any of that money for schools when they can pocket it themselves in the form of more developments and higher salaries. That’s why they want to control the school board, so that no one says, “hey, while you’re spending tens of millions on affordable housing, how about spending a little on educations, too?”[/quote]

If you don’t understand this, you don’t understand Arlington. It’s very cynical and not often stated in polite company, but it is a fundamental truth. [/quote]
