[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not from nw Arlington (I live in Rosslyn), but one idea that was floated last spring was the idea of upper and lower elementary schools.  I wonder if that might be a possible compromise.  Keep the schools where they are, but have tuckahoe be the lower elementary and Nottingham be the upper elementary.  Since there are a lot of overlap in the walk zones, this would allow for a lot of parents to walk at least part of the time their kids are in school, and you could have a courtesy bus between the two schools to help with logistics at drop off for people with multiple children.  Have one big attendance zone so you’re not creating really creating wierd lines down the county to fill schools that are too close together.  You could also have a joint pta so it still feels like a cohesive community.  
Just a thought.  My understanding is that the schools are within a mile of each other, which is why I think this is feasible.  
You could have a similar pairing between Jamestown and discovery.  Though maybe it makes more sense for Jamestown to be an option school.[/quote]

That is needlessly complicated and doesn't address any of the problems at hand.[/quote]
