[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spoke with a school board member.

This is what I took away from the conversation:

[b]1) There is no land to build a new high school. The VA Hospital parcel a no go because too much traffic on Carlin Springs. [/b]

2) This school board member would like to see the Ed Center transformed into an annex for W-L.

3) Additions a definite possibility. Also a possibility to grow HB.

4) High school will not "look" like it has traditionally looked. Meaning to expect distance learning and staggered schedules.

Personally, I do not want my children going to high school if in Arlington if distance learning and staggered schedules, overcrowded buildings, etc. is what it's going to be. We will be going private.

I don't understand this part.  Is it the School Board member's opinion that the site is unsuitable for a high school because of traffic, or does the member believe that the County will not cede the land to APS because the County believes there is too much traffic to accommodate a school there?

Remember how I told you that neighborhood was already organizing to oppose a school? We're too late. Really, where isn't traffic a problem? No more good solutions.

So shifts it is. Glad we spent less on a house here is south Arlington so that we'll have the money to go private after MS. Geeze. Those of you who stretched to buy a house up north, good luck to you. [/quote]
