[quote=Anonymous][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]

Teacher on AEM says APS spends  $2.5 million in tuition for TJHSST which covers about 20 teachers in APS. [/quote]

That's a lot of money for not very many kids. Even if APS brought back all of the kids from TJ, they wouldn't have to hire 20 teachers.  How many kids go to TJ each year, maybe 20 or so? That's not even one HS teacher per grade level. Maybe APS can pay tuition for all the kids who can't read to go to a school that will teach them to read? [/quote]

APS spends a lot of money for not many kids in the Shriver program, too. And the Langston program. And other programs. Want to eliminate them all?[/quote]
