Fake news, pseudologia fantastica practitioner. That was right after the no plan plan was released. read their own words published 1/26. [/quote]
+1 APS published a plan, has very few details and then immediately backtracked. [/quote]

are we having fun playing with the fuzzy little troll? I didn't know that their moss covered selves were so soft.[/quote] No post has demonstrated recent opposition.

Are you saying I'm a troll because I posted the Arl Now article. I'm trying to understand the opposition to the plan from AT. First someone said no AT parents were opposed. Now we have shown that's clearly not true so I'm a troll?! [/quote]

No post has demonstrated recent opposition.[/quote]

Last night’s comments before school board were opposed. Is that recent enough for you? [/quote]

Not without proof. [/quote]

It's recorded and you can watch it. How is that not enough proof for you? Also it doesn't really matter if you believe it or not. I heard it. So did everyone else who was there, including the school board who votes. If you want to deny reality, you just look even more insane. [/quote]

I do not believe a trolls interpretation of what they heard and you are quoting one person...if accuratly, I don't know.[/quote]

classic troll behavior:
"I'm too lazy to go listen myself so I'll just make up false claims about what those who did say"[/quote]

The PP is asking for specific evidence, not an interpretation. That's the opposite of trolling. 
[/quote]

thank you. Every accusation is an admission. [/quote]

What evidence do you want? We pointed you to the recording. Even gave you a link. It's right there. In the time you spend on here trolling, you could just go watch it yourself. [b]But then you'd see what I told you - Arl Tech opposing Langston coming[/b] and Langston saying they want to come- and you clearly don't want to admit that's real.

The lengths you will go to deny reality!!! You look ridiculous and we can all see it. [/quote]

So what you told us is untrue. The AT kids did NOT say they were opposed to Langston coming.

That’s why the PPs were asking for evidence. Because they suspected (rightly) that you were full of sht. 
[/quote]

Your efforts to deny reality are truly laughable. Anyone can go listen and see for themselves you are wrong. Those of us who already went to the meeting already know. So does the school board. I'm concerned for you, PP. you don't live in reality. [/quote]

This troll is hopeless. But for anyone who wants to listen to the comments, all school board meetings including this one are recorded. https://www.apsva.us/arlington-school-board/school-board-meetings/watch-school-board-meetings/
You can watch for yourself the 4 AT students opposing the move and the 2 Langston commenters supporting it. [/quote]

Summary of Arlington Tech student comments (APS School Board meeting, Feb. 5 2026 video)

From the public-comment segment of the Feb. 5 meeting video you provided, the Arlington Tech student speakers conveyed the following themes regarding the proposed relocation of programs (including Langston) to the Grace Hopper building:

1. Generally not opposed to shared facilities
	•	Students indicated that Arlington Tech already operates within a multi-program Career Center environment, so sharing a building with additional programs was viewed as manageable if planned properly.
	•	They emphasized that the issue should not be framed as a competition between student groups.

2. Main concern: preserving Arlington Tech resources and identity
	•	Students stressed that Arlington Tech should retain adequate dedicated classroom, lab, and common space.
	•	They asked that Arlington Tech’s program identity and hands-on learning opportunities not be diluted by overcrowding or scheduling conflicts.

3. Support contingent on clear planning
	•	Students requested transparent plans for space allocation, scheduling, and expansion capacity.
	•	Their comments focused more on ensuring operational clarity and future growth rather than opposing Langston’s relocation itself.

Bottom line:
Current Arlington Tech students who spoke on Feb. 5 did not express strong opposition to moving programs such as Langston to Grace Hopper. Their position was largely conditional support, centered on maintaining sufficient space, program integrity, and long-term growth for Arlington Tech.

Indicators suggesting possible veiled dissatisfaction:
	•	Repeated emphasis on protecting Arlington Tech space, resources, and identity rather than expressing affirmative support for the relocation itself.
	•	Requests for guarantees about expansion capacity and scheduling control, which typically arise when students anticipate potential crowding or program competition.
	•	Framing comments around “if planned properly” or “as long as Arlington Tech retains its facilities,” signaling conditional support.[/quote]
