[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that I see the zones for Reed, McKinley, Tuckahoe and Nottingham, I realize this will be a mess! Schools are too close. Can’t believe we will spend more than $50M to tear down the structure that was renovated in 2009 for $22M. [/quote] It turns out the school was really poorly designed. Did you go to the community meeting? They explained all of this. The way it was constructed is only good for preschoolers and even that is questionable. There are really awkward rooms, tight hallways and APS cut corners during construction so it won’t actually easily support a second level without destroying what is there. Also, at the time APS was considering HB, there weren’t nearby schools with 800 kids. I remember parents saying that the APS numbers were wrong and another elementary school was needed, but he APS didn’t listen back then. Kudos to them for doing the right thing now. [/quote]
