[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yep, keep pushing the issue this fall, it's the best way to accelerate the swap. If the ASFS/Key people sufficiently disrupt this fall's South Arlington boundary process with this issue, APS will do the swap for the 2020 school year and get it over with so that it doesn't totally derail the North Arlington boundary process that fall.[/quote]

This isn't an off-the wall comment, but if those opposed let the issue sit for now, it will achieve an aura of inevitability.  If they want a different outcome, I don't think they can afford to wait.  They need to make their case now, while other options are still available.[/quote]

What other options do you think are available?   What options are foreclosed by waiting until Spring?  [/quote]

The only option that is unavailable after this fall is leaving all the schools where they are and balancing enrollment by pushing overflow N. Arlington students south to Fleet. In the rezoning round for Reed, the re-balancing will have to involve either tentacles reaching east or school swap (or both), Fleet is not in play. Obviously the board and staff do not want to send students across 50 to Fleet, thus the swap plan. [/quote]

I've had more than enough of people claiming Fleet to alleviate the north's problems.  "Fleet" was supposed to be built to help problems in the south back when Discovery got built with the bond money instead.  There - there's your "Fleet" solution to the north's problems.  And THIS Fleet was to resolve overcrowding in SOUTH arlington.  So stop tromping all over the south - putting it down, calling MC southies hypocrites, trashing our schools, etc. but using us when it suits you.  You want the north/south divide, you got it.  For decades you've reinforced the north/south divide to keep your ivory towers polished and the brown tarnish out, so now live with it and the consequences it creates for yourselves.[/quote]

Damn, feeling a bit triggered? For the record, I haven't been here for decades making policy decisions and I doubt you have either. I don't know why we continue to pretend that 50 is an uncrossable chasm, seems like that would perpetuate the divide that you claim to hate. We're here now, do you want things to change or not?[/quote]
