[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTW, Reed as an ES is NOT a done deal.  That was the super's recommendation.  It was never presented in any of the previous CIP meetings.  APS said they would form a working group to determine the location of the ES and Reed was only ever presented (publicly) as an early education center.  So, when the Super presented the plan to make Reed an ES and bypass the whole NAWG plan, even the Facilities Advisory Committee was caught off guard.

Speaking as someone who was part of the vaunted SAWG, I can tell you the result you'll get if you form a NAWG: you will delay the construction of a new school by about a year, and the end result will be the one APS had in mind all along. But, please do go ahead with the charade so that you can see for yourself. Truly, APS is out of good options, so the working groups are not going to magically find one. They won't let you include the Buck property, because APS doesn't and won't own it, just like SAWG wasn't allowed to include the VHC site, or the two different sites that developers were offering in exchange for up-zoning. But if you need this process so that you can come to the same conclusion, be my guest. Just trying to show you the real picture. [/quote]

Ps- for those of you saying the N v. S discussion is a different thread. You are wrong. South Arlington homeowners  want another choice option, for all of the previously stated reasons. We will be lobbying for Reed to be another choice program for our kids.[/quote]
