[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington Village has always been considered starter homes until you have kids the move to N Arlington or Fairfax. As Henry became a better school people decided to stay for Henry. If you zone them out people will move. [/quote]

This has always been the case. Same with Fairlington, same with Douglas park etc etc...
I do think families don’t want to leave Arlington now, and the message being sent from the CB and SB  was ... basically F off. Stay if you want, but we have no obligation to you. We picked the winners and losers 20 years ago. The wealthy packing themselves into north Arlington and the extremely impoverished in South Arlington.
If you guys ( middle class) puss out on this fight, it will be decades for a course correction. 
47% was stated by an SB member. That’s unbelievable ( and likely gonna get RG primaried out) You could have a Goldstein, O’Grady, and Babs coalition to actually make that happen. 
Would the PU’s zoned Drew feel better if they knew the school was starting out with better demographics and a fantastic principal?
Could the young families of some of these neighbors be persuaded to send their kids if they knew the demographics were under 50?
Save the choice programs for Arlington middle class kids with special needs needs and more farms kids ( also making the neighborhood south Arlington schools stronger)
This is your chance. Nut up.
