[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Putting a 4th comprehensive high school at the career center site will DOOM WAKEFIELD. A huge percentage of the UMC that give Wakefield any diversity at all will be siphoned off to the new school's boundary. This will leave Wakefield to have a very high percentage of kids from low income families. [/quote]

They can have Glen Carlyn and Arlington Forest??

Seriously, we cannot be an entire high school short of seats because of a notion that it could "doom" one school.  Maybe the SB will finally balance diversity over all 4 schools then.[/quote]

The wouldn't move northside Arlington Forest, and southside is already zoned there. Glencarlyn is one small neighborhood, and can't balance anything, and to move them to Wakefield they'd also have to take all of the CAF's around Columbia Pike that are currently zoned W-L to maintain contiguity. Maybe Barcroft? But maybe not, because I think the N half is walkable to the CC site.

I don't know what they have planned for the Kenmore site, but it had better be a hell of a lot more seats of some sort. That is land that nobody else has and we can't just sit on it because "traffic." [/quote]
