[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weren't the #s for this year below projections? [/quote]

Yes, and I'm certain the numbers will go down every year from now on. There will be no need for a fourth school. [/quote]

Are you high? There is a need for a 4th high school *right now.* Even without the [b]900[/b] extra students that came into the system this fall. Even if the number of new students goes down every year, it will be many years til we get to negative growth (if ever). Meanwhile, we need a 4th comprehensive high school with the numbers we have right now.[/quote]

I think the pp above was being sarcastic.[/quote]

I just assumed it was a Board member.[/quote]

LOL, me too. :-D[/quote]

Up until 2008, there was a steady trend of people having babies in Arlington and then moving to fairfax once they hit school to get the bigger house etc. but during the financial crisis many people were caught in condos and starter homes underwater, and ended up staying longer into school years.

I think PP thinks that exodus will resume again (and it might bc housing is so expensive for milenials) and i don't know if they will settle for hipster with kids for that long; it's one think for a two bedroom apt with a kindergarten, a whole other thing with high school kids, especially when moving 10 miles gives them 5x the space.  But commutes suck more now so who knows. [/quote]
