[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Explain it to me like I'm 5 and know nothing about APS, districting, education theory,  etc. Why can't we set a standard FRL % at every school to guarantee the same education experience across Arlington? I'm new to this but Arlington is kinda small - why can't this happen for the good of everyone? Is it because the idea of bussing kids around has a history? I'm sure there's a way to do it equitably.

I read everyone being up in arms about school redistricting in Arlington and it just seems like this is the answer.  Why have schools 70 to 80%FRL and others like 15%? Sure, north Arlington blah blah blah paid higher costs,  but honestly south Arlington will probably catch up in costs because it's closer to Amazon and the airport. It's already getting pretty expensive and will one day will catch up. Why not catch up the schools ahead of time?

I can’t add more than what’s been said re: history.  I wonder if they will address it when they are forced to.  At some point, given all the push for density in certain parts of the county, they’re going to be forced to shift things around and certain schools in NA will be relatively empty.  Maybe that’s the plan?  I don’t know I’m just wondering aloud.[/quote]
