[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read the whole thing.

The obvious solution is the one proposed in 2015 - put Dorothy Hamm MS at Rosslyn and move HBW back to their old home on Vacation Lane. Then kids who live near Vacation Lane can be bused to Williamsburg like they were in the good old days, or they can be be bused to the fancy new building in Rosslyn.[/quote]

They built out the Heights specifically for the Shriver program and now you just want to undo that? No. That's entirely inequitable.

Shriver Program is independent of the HB program and can stay. It does NOT have to be forever associated with HBW. That was used as an excuse for HB to keep the program and building small. [/quote]

You say that now but there's no way a neighborhood middle school would fit in the Heights with Shriver there too, so we know you'd lobby to kick out the disabled kids.

Although it's not like Hamm would fit into the Heights even if you managed to kick out Shriver. The building is just not big enough. Not to mention there's just a tiny little field and a pretty small gym. A very small cafeteria space. No locker rooms. [/quote]

But a tiny field, no locker rooms and a small gym and cafeteria were ok for HBW when the Taylor parents took HBW's home? You could send half the Hamm kids to Rosslyn and the other half to WMS where there is space.[/quote]

Yes. Because HBW is 400 seats SMALLER, has an open campus so cafeteria is less of an issue, and kids go to home school for sports. And it’s an option, if kids don’t like the facilities they can return to neighborhood school anytime.

HBW home? Like it’s Tiny Tim? [/quote]
