[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The slide at Discovery isn’t locked. Kid was excited that their class was so good in Art they got to use the slide. The kids love all of the opportunities they are given at Discovery, especially in terms of learning about sustainability and the environment. [/quote]

There you go folks. Proof that the fancy shmancy pricey extras are in the neighborhood schools. They are in everything APS builds whether for option or neighborhood. Stop pointing your fingers at option schools. It's an APS design/budgeting issue, not an option school issue. [/quote]
The slide isn't even a blip on the budget for building these schools. It's a consolation prize for students and teachers when they have to walk 20 kindergarten students to the third floor for their specials. It's what happens when you build on a small footprint, you have to go up.[/quote]

Seriously. That slide is nbd.[/quote]

McKinley is 3 stories in part of it and I think Cardinal is 4.  Isn't Fleet also also multi-level?  Gone are the days of one floor, sprawling schools.  [/quote]

Arlington never really had those except for a few built in the 50s. The original W-L built in the 1920s was three stories with no elevators or ac. Swanson, built in the 1930s, is two stories. Dorothy Hamm was built on multiple levels in the 1940s, etc. Arlington was never some sprawling suburb with exclusively one story schools. [/quote]
