[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what this poster is talking about. Arlington spends more per student and has a lower percentage of children than surrounding districts.[/quote]

Arlington has money but not a fourth HS.  Too bad.  [/quote]

I'm sure it will by the time OP's children attend high school.[/quote]

I wouldn't count on it. The next strategic plan will cover 2018-2024, and so far it doesn't sound like they're contemplating putting construction of a fourth high school into that plan. That would mean a new high school probably wouldn't be considered until after that, and would likely take a couple of years to open from when they decided on it (for reference, see the Reed School, they've known for a year they're going to turn it into an elementary school but that's not scheduled to open until 2021). I have a kindergartner (and an older child), she'll be in middle school before they do the 2025-2031 plan and if we're lucky they'll open a new high school when she's already in high school.[/quote]

Building a high school would be a capital plan, not a strategic plan. Although if people think buildings should be in a strategic plan, this planning process is going to be a real shitshow. [/quote]
