[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I hear the design proposed for the new H-B Woodlawn is $20 million over budget. That's just at the design phase. Of course it will end up even more once it's built. Somehow they'll find the money for that but not the facilities needed in S. Arl.[/quote]

H-B wasn't that much over budget given the small, complex site in Rosslyn. It's the Stratford Middle School that came in wildly over budget. That was scary. [/quote]

My issue with HB is the expense vs number seats. 1000 kids for same price as the recent Wakefield rebuild! Yikes!
I totally get that there is an expense to building in Rosslyn - but holy cow!

Sorry for the tangent. Back to elementary schools and how we get our kids into choice schools.[/quote]

APS is supposed to be revisiting and making changes to elementary school choice boundaries and/or admissions policies over the next couple years. I guess we'll have to stay tuned, but the situation will be addressed. [/quote]

What does that mean? Making sure we still have choices? Or does that mean eliminating all choices? Should we be comforted or freaked out?[/quote]

Choices will not go away. Not at all. Same number of choice schools and perhaps a couple additional at the elementary and secondary levels. The new high school planned for where the career center is, will be choice--that's the concept for now at least.
