[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Governor’s schools are partially funded from Richmond. It would be idiotic for us to pay taxes and not get to partake in at least one of of the Governor’s schools.

This is the dumbest line of reasoning.   Let’s all list the ways the State spends money and then say Arlington should participate even if it’s more expensive for the county to do it.   [/quote]

Can anyone demonstrate that it's more expensive to send a handful of kids to TJ?[/quote]
No.

The question is also less expensive than what?  You can send the TJ kids back to their home high school and just increase class sizes without adding teachers.  That probably costs very little, but is just more degradation of APS quality. Adding teachers (likely IB/AP certified given the cohort of students) and classroom seats would be more expensive.  Creating anything equal to TJ would be extraordinarily expensive, if not impossible.[/quote]

It’d be impossible. Even FCPS couldn’t do it. It’s taken decades and the contribution/cooperation-of all the regional districts. Arlington has helped contribute towards making TJ what it is for a long time. Why back out now and leave more seats for the other jurisdictions?!  We’re small. But we should get some of them.
